|DIA| has been tested with the following database systems and ODBC drivers:

.. list-table:: Tested Databases
    :name: TableTestedDatabases
    :widths: 25 35 40
    :header-rows: 1

    * - Database
      - Version
      - ODBC Driver

    * - MariaDB
      - 10.5+
      - MariaDB ODBC 3.1 Driver

.. note:: |DIA| uses the ODBC API and should work with other ODBC-compliant
          databases, but support for databases other than MariaDB and PostgreSQL
          requires custom implementation. See :ref:`section-database-support` for details.
