+# Using PostgreSQL with DatabaseSessionService
+
+This sample demonstrates how to configure `DatabaseSessionService` to use PostgreSQL for persisting sessions, events, and state.
+
+## Overview
+
+ADK's `DatabaseSessionService` supports multiple database backends through SQLAlchemy. This guide shows how to:
+
+- Set up PostgreSQL as the session storage backend
+- Configure async connections with `asyncpg`
+- Understand the auto-generated schema
+- Run the sample agent with persistent sessions
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **PostgreSQL Database**: A running PostgreSQL instance (local or cloud)
+- **asyncpg**: Async PostgreSQL driver for Python
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the required Python packages:
+
+```bash
+pip install google-adk asyncpg greenlet
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+`DatabaseSessionService` automatically creates the following tables on first use:
+
+### sessions
+
+| Column      | Type         | Description                    |
+| ----------- | ------------ | ------------------------------ |
+| app_name    | VARCHAR(128) | Application identifier (PK)    |
+| user_id     | VARCHAR(128) | User identifier (PK)           |
+| id          | VARCHAR(128) | Session UUID (PK)              |
+| state       | JSONB        | Session state as JSON          |
+| create_time | TIMESTAMP    | Creation timestamp             |

+| ----------- | ------------ | ------------------------------ |
+| app_name    | VARCHAR(128) | Application identifier (PK)    |
+| state       | JSONB        | Application-level state        |
+| update_time | TIMESTAMP    | Last update timestamp          |
+
+### user_states
+
+| Column      | Type         | Description                    |
+| ----------- | ------------ | ------------------------------ |
+| app_name    | VARCHAR(128) | Application identifier (PK)    |
+| user_id     | VARCHAR(128) | User identifier (PK)           |
+| state       | JSONB        | User-level state               |
+| update_time | TIMESTAMP    | Last update timestamp          |
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Connection URL Format
+
+```python
+postgresql+asyncpg://username:password@host:port/database
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from google.adk.sessions.database_session_service import DatabaseSessionService
+from google.adk.runners import Runner
+
+# Initialize with PostgreSQL URL
+session_service = DatabaseSessionService(
+    "postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@localhost:5432/adk_sessions"
+)
+
+# Use with Runner
+runner = Runner(
+    app_name="my_app",
+    agent=my_agent,
+    session_service=session_service,
+)
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+Pass additional SQLAlchemy engine options:
+
+```python
+session_service = DatabaseSessionService(
+    "postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@localhost:5432/adk_sessions",
+    pool_size=10,
+    max_overflow=20,
+    pool_timeout=30,
+    pool_recycle=1800,
+)
+```
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+### 1. Start PostgreSQL
+
+Using Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Or use an existing PostgreSQL instance.
+
+### 2. Configure Connection
+
+Create a `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+POSTGRES_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/adk_sessions
+GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=<your-gcp-project-id>
+GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1
+GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
+```
+
+Or run export command.
+
+```bash
+export POSTGRES_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/adk_sessions
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=$(gcloud config get-value project)
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1
+export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
+```
+
+### 3. Run the Agent
+
+```bash
+python main.py
+```
+
+Or use the ADK:
+
+```bash
+adk run .
+```
+
+## Session Persistence
+
+Sessions and events are persisted across application restarts:
+
+```python
+# First run - creates a new session
+session = await session_service.create_session(
+    app_name="my_app",
+    user_id="user1",
+    session_id="persistent-session-123",
+)
+
+# Later run - retrieves the existing session
+session = await session_service.get_session(
+    app_name="my_app",
+    user_id="user1",
+    session_id="persistent-session-123",
+)
+```
+
+## State Management
+
+PostgreSQL's JSONB type provides efficient storage for state data:
+
+- **Session state**: Stored in `sessions.state`
+- **User state**: Stored in `user_states.state`
+- **App state**: Stored in `app_states.state`
+
+## Production Considerations
+
+1. **Connection Pooling**: Use `pool_size` and `max_overflow` for high-traffic applications
+2. **SSL/TLS**: Always use encrypted connections in production
+3. **Backups**: Implement regular backup strategies for session data
+4. **Indexing**: The default schema includes primary key indexes; add additional indexes based on query patterns
+5. **Monitoring**: Monitor connection pool usage and query performance
