# Database Automation

**Database Automation** in Avo Assure helps your work with databases (both SQL and non-SQL) during test automation. It enables you to run queries, retrieve and validate data, and compare database results with application data or predefined values. User can also compare the database results with expected values and export the results into files (e.g., Excel) for easier review and reporting.
