+### SQL database location
+
+The default location for the sqlite3 database is `$XDG_DATA_HOME/nvim` (eg `~/.local/share/nvim/` on linux).
+This can be configured with the `db_root` config option.
+
 ### SQL database maintainance
 
 By default, frecency will prune files that no longer exist from the database.
