# PostgreSQL data source
Grafana includes a built-in PostgreSQL data source plugin, enabling you to query and visualize data from any PostgreSQL-compatible database. You don't need to install a plugin to add the PostgreSQL data source to your Grafana instance.
Grafana offers several configuration options for this data source as well as a visual and code-based query editor.
## Get started with the PostgreSQL data source
The following documents will help you get started with the PostgreSQL data source in Grafana:
- [Configure the PostgreSQL data source](ref:configure-postgres-data-source)
- [PostgreSQL query editor](ref:postgres-query-editor)
After you have configured the data source you can:
- Create a variety of [visualizations](ref:visualizations)
- Add [annotations](ref:annotate-visualizations)
- Set up [alerting](ref:alerting)
- Add [transformations](ref:transformations)
