Install Database Drivers
Superset requires a Python DB-API database driver and a SQLAlchemy dialect to be installed for each datastore you want to connect to.
You can read more here about how to install new database drivers into your Superset configuration.
Supported Databases and Dependencies
Superset does not ship bundled with connectivity to databases, except for SQLite, which is part of the Python standard library. You’ll need to install the required packages for the database you want to use as your metadata database as well as the packages needed to connect to the databases you want to access through Superset.
Some of the recommended packages are shown below. Please refer to setup.py for the versions that are compatible with Superset.

Note that many other databases are supported, the main criteria being the existence of a functional SQLAlchemy dialect and Python driver. Searching for the keyword “sqlalchemy + (database name)” should help get you to the right place.
If your database or data engine isn’t on the list but a SQL interface exists, please file an issue on the Superset GitHub repo, so we can work on documenting and supporting it.
If you’d like to build a database connector for Superset integration, read the following tutorial.
