We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a **500,000-strong developer community**, and **5MM+ robots at work** in over **5,000 global enterprises.**

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

Introduction to the Database Activities Package
-----------------------------------------------

The Database Activities package empowers users to establish connections with databases and execute a comprehensive array of actions within them. These actions include executing transactions, queries, and non-queries. The pack supports seamless connectivity to a diverse range of databases, including but not limited to SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2, both directly and through ODBC/OLE DB.

### Start Transaction Activity

The [Start Transaction](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/developer/database-transaction) activity serves as a dedicated container facilitating database connection, execution of multiple actions, and subsequent disconnection.

### Connection Process and DatabaseConnection Variable

The [Connect](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/developer/database-connect) and [Disconnect](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/developer/database-disconnect) activities provide additional flexibility for connecting to databases, executing specific actions, and disconnecting as needed for individual connections.

  

The connection process revolves around the utilization of a DatabaseConnection variable. This variable is unique for each connected database and can be employed across the entirety of your automation project for establishing connections to the designated database.
