# SQLite Storage Location

If you are looking for the location of where SQLite stores all information related to your database, you will need to locate the file:

> &#x20;             <mark style="color:yellow;">**`garrysmod\sv.db`**</mark>

In order to actually view your SQLite database, you will need to download the <mark style="color:red;">**DB Browser for SQLIte**</mark> application:

{% embed url="<https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/>" %}

After downloading, install the program and then launch it.&#x20;

You will need to click the **Open Database** button

Then locate your Garry's Mod <mark style="color:red;">**`sv.db`**</mark> file.

Once the database is opened, you will need to locate the agon\_players table. To view the entries for all the players in the database table, you can right-click and select <mark style="color:red;">**`Browse Table`**</mark>.

{% hint style="info" %}
DB Browser for SQLite also includes a dark theme.
{% endhint %}

Once you browse the table, you should see an entry for each player who has connected to your server and has been inserted into the <mark style="color:red;">**`agon_players`**</mark> table:

It is highly recommended that if you wish to wipe your entire agon\_players table and start over; you should do it from in-game with the <mark style="color:red;">**`Wipe Database`**</mark> feature. This button action is immediate, and a server restart is not required.

{% hint style="danger" %}
You **cannot** have your SQLite database open in the program DB Browser for SQLite when booting your server up. When the database is opened in the DB Browser, it locks the database file and your Garry's Mod server will be unable to access it.&#x20;

Doing so will result in you getting an error in-game:

> <mark style="color:red;">\[ERROR] A runtime error has occurred in "gamemodes/darkrp/gamemode/modules/base/sv\_data.lua" on line 484. The best help I can give you is this:</mark>

> <mark style="color:red;">Failed to retrieve player information from the database.</mark>
