# ConnectionString

The connection string to use to connect to the statistics database. Answer Server sends statistics about the popularity of your question equivalence classes to this database.

The connection string is passed on to the database, so you can use a connection string that works with any SQL client application.

NOTE: On Linux operating systems, remove the spaces in the connection string.

To use a statistics database, Enabled must be set to `True` (the default).

The database that you configure must exist, but Answer Server creates all the tables that it needs to store the statistics information. The database must also be able and configured to accept dates in ISO-8601 formats (that is, `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss`).
