# Data Store

[Catalyst Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction) is a cloud-based relational database management system that stores the persistent data of your application through tables.

### Create a New Data Store Instance

To access the Data Store of a Catalyst project, you can create an instance of the Data Store, and enable the methods defined in this class to access the instance object. This will prevent unnecessary server calls.

You must call the `getDataStoreInstance()` method as shown in the code syntax below, to obtain the Data Store instance successfully:

```bash
ZCatalystDataStore dataStore = ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getDataStoreInstance();
```
