# ADR-0006 - Use of Provider APIs in Gradle

## Status

- ACCEPTED on 2024-06-21

## Context

**FastAPI** doesn't require you to use a SQL (relational) database. But you can use **any database** that you want.

Here we'll see an example using [SQLModel](https://sqlmodel.tiangolo.com/).

**SQLModel** is built on top of [SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/) and Pydantic. It was made by the same author of **FastAPI** to be the perfect match for FastAPI applications that need to use **SQL databases**.

/// tip

But by using `Security` instead of `Depends`, **FastAPI** will know that it can declare security scopes, use them internally, and document the API with OpenAPI.

But when you import `Query`, `Path`, `Depends`, `Security` and others from `fastapi`, those are actually functions that return special classes.

///

## Use `SecurityScopes` { #use-securityscopes }

Now update the dependency `get_current_user`.
