 ### Database

 By default, Paperless uses **SQLite** with a database stored at `data/db.sqlite3`.
-For multi-user or higher-throughput deployments, **PostgreSQL** (recommended) or
-**MariaDB** can be used instead by setting [`PAPERLESS_DBENGINE`](#PAPERLESS_DBENGINE)
-and the relevant connection variables.
-
-#### [`PAPERLESS_DBENGINE=<engine>`](#PAPERLESS_DBENGINE) {#PAPERLESS_DBENGINE}
-
-: Specifies the database engine to use. Accepted values are `sqlite`, `postgresql`,
-and `mariadb`.
-
-    Defaults to `sqlite` if not set.
-
-    PostgreSQL and MariaDB both require [`PAPERLESS_DBHOST`](#PAPERLESS_DBHOST) to be
-    set. SQLite does not use any other connection variables; the database file is always
-    located at `<PAPERLESS_DATA_DIR>/db.sqlite3`.
-
-    !!! warning
-        Using MariaDB comes with some caveats.
-        See [MySQL Caveats](advanced_usage.md#mysql-caveats).
+To switch to **PostgreSQL** or **MariaDB**, set [`PAPERLESS_DBHOST`](#PAPERLESS_DBHOST) and optionally configure other
+database-related environment variables.

 #### [`PAPERLESS_DBHOST=<hostname>`](#PAPERLESS_DBHOST) {#PAPERLESS_DBHOST}

-: Hostname of the PostgreSQL or MariaDB database server. Required when
-`PAPERLESS_DBENGINE` is `postgresql` or `mariadb`.
+: If unset, Paperless uses **SQLite** by default.
+
+    Set `PAPERLESS_DBHOST` to switch to PostgreSQL or MariaDB instead.
+
+#### [`PAPERLESS_DBENGINE=<engine_name>`](#PAPERLESS_DBENGINE) {#PAPERLESS_DBENGINE}
+

-    Defaults to `5432` for PostgreSQL and `3306` for MariaDB.

-dictionaries; for example, `pool.max_size=20` sets

+: SSL mode to use when connecting to PostgreSQL or MariaDB.

-    Options specified here are merged over the engine defaults. Unrecognised keys
-    are passed through to the underlying database driver without validation, so a
-    typo will be silently ignored rather than producing an error.

-        Pool size is controlled via `pool.min_size` and `pool.max_size`. When

+: Sets how long a database connection should wait before timing out.

-    ```bash title="MariaDB"
-    PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS="ssl.cert=/path/to/client.crt"
-    ```
+    For SQLite, this sets how long to wait if the database is locked.
+    For PostgreSQL or MariaDB, this sets the connection timeout.

-#### ~~[`PAPERLESS_DBSSLKEY`](#PAPERLESS_DBSSLKEY)~~ {#PAPERLESS_DBSSLKEY}
+    Defaults to unset, which uses Django’s built-in defaults.

-!!! failure "Removed in v3"
+#### [`PAPERLESS_DB_POOLSIZE=<int>`](#PAPERLESS_DB_POOLSIZE) {#PAPERLESS_DB_POOLSIZE}

-    Use [`PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS`](#PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS) instead.
+: Defines the maximum number of database connections to keep in the pool.

-    ```bash title="PostgreSQL"
-    PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS="sslkey=/path/to/client.key"
-    ```
+    Only applies to PostgreSQL. This setting is ignored for other database engines.

-    ```bash title="MariaDB"
-    PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS="ssl.key=/path/to/client.key"
-    ```
+    The value must be greater than or equal to 1 to be used.
+    Defaults to unset, which disables connection pooling.

-#### ~~[`PAPERLESS_DB_TIMEOUT`](#PAPERLESS_DB_TIMEOUT)~~ {#PAPERLESS_DB_TIMEOUT}
+    !!! note

-!!! failure "Removed in v3"
+        A pool of 8-10 connections per worker is typically sufficient.
+        If you encounter error messages such as `couldn't get a connection`
+        or database connection timeouts, you probably need to increase the pool size.

-    Use [`PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS`](#PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS) instead.
+    !!! warning
+        Make sure your PostgreSQL `max_connections` setting is large enough to handle the connection pools:
+        `(NB_PAPERLESS_WORKERS + NB_CELERY_WORKERS) × POOL_SIZE + SAFETY_MARGIN`. For example, with
+        4 Paperless workers and 2 Celery workers, and a pool size of 8:``(4 + 2) × 8 + 10 = 58`,
+        so `max_connections = 60` (or even more) is appropriate.

-    ```bash title="SQLite"
-    PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS="timeout=30"
-    ```
-
-    ```bash title="PostgreSQL or MariaDB"
-    PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS="connect_timeout=30"
-    ```
-
-#### ~~[`PAPERLESS_DB_POOLSIZE`](#PAPERLESS_DB_POOLSIZE)~~ {#PAPERLESS_DB_POOLSIZE}
-
-!!! failure "Removed in v3"
-
-    Use [`PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS`](#PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS) instead.
-
-    ```bash
-    PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS="pool.max_size=10"
-    ```
+        This assumes only Paperless-ngx connects to your PostgreSQL instance. If you have other applications,
+        you should increase `max_connections` accordingly.

-
-`PAPERLESS_DBENGINE` is now required to use PostgreSQL or MariaDB. Previously, the
-engine was inferred from the presence of `PAPERLESS_DBHOST`, with `PAPERLESS_DBENGINE`
-only needed to select MariaDB over PostgreSQL.
-
-SQLite users require no changes, though they may explicitly set their engine if desired.
-
-#### Action Required
-
-PostgreSQL and MariaDB users must add `PAPERLESS_DBENGINE` to their environment:
-
-```yaml
-# v2 (PostgreSQL inferred from PAPERLESS_DBHOST)
-PAPERLESS_DBHOST: postgres
-
-# v3 (engine must be explicit)
-PAPERLESS_DBENGINE: postgresql
-PAPERLESS_DBHOST: postgres
-```
-
-See [`PAPERLESS_DBENGINE`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_DBENGINE) for accepted values.
-
-## Database Advanced Options
-
-The individual SSL, timeout, and pooling variables have been removed in favor of a
-single [`PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_DB_OPTIONS) string. This
-consolidates a growing set of engine-specific variables into one place, and allows
-any option supported by the underlying database driver to be set without requiring a
-dedicated environment variable for each.
-
-The removed variables and their replacements are:
