# Add a Vehicle Model to a Database

To add a vehicle model to a database of vehicle models, you can:

- Perform training in separate steps. Create a new (empty) model, add training images, and then train Media Server, using separate actions. You can also add metadata to the vehicle model, but this is an optional step.

- Perform training in a single action. Add and train a new vehicle model with a single action. You might use this approach when all of the required information is available and ready to be added to the database. When adding a vehicle model using a single action, either all of the training steps are successful or nothing is added to the database.
