 # Virtuoso

+We run instances of virtuoso for our graph databases. Virtuoso is remarkable software and runs some really large databases, including Uniprot. Virtuoso can sometimes feel old and clunky. But, we still prefer it to other shiny new ones because it is the only large one not written in Java. Java packages are almost impossible to package in Guix.

 ## Virtuoso users and setting their passwords
 
 The most important virtuoso user is the `dba` user. The default password of the `dba` user is `dba`. You can change passwords using the isql command-line client.
