-By default, Traccar uses a database that is called H2. It is sweet since it
-works out of the box. However, it is not considered stable for production use,

-
-It is highly recommended to use a MySQL database with this add-on. For example
-you could install the MariaDB add-on that is in the add-on store.
-
-Add the following configuration to your `traccar.xml` that is stored in your
-Home Assistant configuration directory (`/config/traccar.xml`):
-
-```xml
-<entry key='database.driver'>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</entry>
-<entry key='database.url'>jdbc:mysql://core-mariadb:3306/traccar?serverTimezone=UTC&amp;useSSL=false&amp;allowMultiQueries=true&amp;autoReconnect=true&amp;useUnicode=yes&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8&amp;sessionVariables=sql_mode=''</entry>
