+The CLI allows to save all received beacons into a database with [SQLAlchemy](http://www.sqlalchemy.org/).
+The [sqlite](https://www.sqlite.org/)-backend is sufficient for simple testing,
+but some tasks (e.g. logbook generation) require a proper backend like [postgresql](http://www.postgresql.org/).
 An external python project would instantiate ogn.gateway and register a custom callback,
 called each time a beacon is received.
