Using Databases Other Than MySQL in WordPress

WordPress is designed to work out of the box with MySQL and MariaDB databases. If you need to run a different database system, you’ll have to implement a custom database abstraction layer. This guide outlines the steps and considerations for adding unsupported database systems.

Does WordPress support databases other than MySQL and MariaDB?

WordPress officially supports MySQL and MariaDB databases as noted in the documentation.
