# Xenioo Database

The Xenioo Database section gives your chatbot full access to high performance cloud database that can be quickly accessed by your chatbots and shared between conversations.

Using Xenioo Database, your chatbot can access multiple [collections ](https://docs.xenioo.com/database/collections)of data that can be used to store dynamic values. Values, stored in collections, can be accessed from your chatbot flow [using actions](https://docs.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/database), [scripting ](https://docs.xenioo.com/actions-and-operations/integration/xenioo.bots.actions.base.executescriptaction/xenioo-database-collection-methods)and API for [reading, writing and deleting](https://docs.xenioo.com/database/database-api-access).

Data stored in collections is persistent and shared among all conversation instances.

The Xenioo Database features require an active Database [package](https://docs.xenioo.com/database/broken-reference).

### Collection Information

Each collection you create in the Xenioo Database will be listed in the general database view. Each entry will display a number of information and will offer different options.
