# SingleStore (MemSQL)

## SingleStore (MemSQL)

You can find out more about the SingleStore database at the [SingleStore home page](https://www.singlestore.com/). SingleStore is syntactically a MySQL variant, and you can use actions like the MySQL bulk loader with SingleStore.

More information about the SingleStore JDBC driver can be found here: [The SingleStore JDBC Driver](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/developer-resources/connect-with-application-development-tools/connect-with-java-jdbc/the-singlestore-jdbc-driver/).

**Important**: You need to download and install the SingleStore JDBC driver yourself. We suggest you place the driver JAR file either in the `lib/jdbc` folder or in the folder pointed to by the `HOP_SHARED_JDBC_FOLDERS` variable. This is a comma separated list of folder containing JDBC drivers, default value is lib/jdbc. If you still need the default jdbc drivers when changing this you need to include the default folder path.
