-The database initiated by the [surreal start](/docs/surrealdb/cli/start) command stores data in memory by default, which then disappears every time the database is shut down. As such, you can simply use Ctrl+C every time you want to start the database anew with no existing definitions or data. To save data to disk which will persist after shutting down, add a [positional argument](/docs/surrealdb/cli/start#positional-argument) for one of the storage backends such as `rocksdb://mydatabase` or `surrealkv://mydatabase`.
