# studio (Prisma CLI v7) (/docs/cli/v7/studio)

Browse and manage your database data with Prisma Studio web interface

Location: CLI > v7 > studio

The `prisma studio` command starts a local web server with a web app to interactively browse and manage your data.

## Usage

```bash
prisma studio [options]
```

> \[!NOTE]
> Supported databases
>
> Prisma Studio currently supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. Support for CockroachDB and MongoDB is not available yet but may be added in future releases.

## Prerequisites

Configure your database connection in `prisma.config.ts`:

```prisma file=schema.prisma
generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client"
  output   = "../generated/prisma"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "sqlite"
}
```

```typescript file=prisma.config.ts
import { defineConfig, env } from "prisma/config";

export default defineConfig({
  schema: "prisma/schema.prisma",
  migrations: {
    path: "prisma/migrations",
  },
  datasource: {
    url: env("DATABASE_URL"),
  },
});
```
