# Console Database
```{admonition} Module type

<span style='color: #FF00FF'>[database](/core_modules.md#database-modules)</a></span>
```

Provides a simple database implementation that outputs archival results and status updates to the console.

### Features
- Logs the status of archival tasks directly to the console, including:
- started
- failed (with error details)
- aborted
- done (with optional caching status)
- Useful for debugging or lightweight setups where no external database is required.

### Setup
No additional configuration is required.

```{code} yaml

# steps configuration
steps:
...
  databases:
  - console_db
...

# module configuration
...

# No configuration options for console_db.*



```
