Database Gear

The database-gear icon represents a database symbol with a gear operation, typically used to denote the configuration or settings of a database. The visual design of this icon features a stylized representation of a database and a gear symbol, conveying the idea of data management and configuration. This symbol originates from the early days of computer science and database management, where databases were represented as filing cabinets or containers for data.

In real-world applications, the database-gear icon appears in various software and platforms, such as database management systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. It is also commonly used in data analysis and visualization tools like Tableau, Power BI, and D3.js, where users need to configure their databases or data sources.

From a UX perspective, the database-gear icon communicates the idea of data configuration and management, helping users understand the functionality of a particular feature or tool. It also helps users navigate interfaces by providing a clear visual representation of database settings.

Database Gear is one of 2,084 icons in Bootstrap Icons, made by The Bootstrap Authors and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds DatabaseGearIcon to components/icons/bi-database-gear.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed DatabaseGearIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Database Gear icon, or any of 2,084 Bootstrap Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 16 × 16 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Database Gear", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DatabaseGearIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DatabaseGearIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Bootstrap Icons, The Bootstrap Authors and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are data, storage, settings, database and gear. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Database Gear in another set.

Bootstrap Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Database Gear's siblings in it.
