Oxidized uses the `sequel` ruby gem. You can use a variety of databases that aren't explicitly listed. For more information visit https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel Make sure you have the correct adapter!

+## Custom SQL Query Support
+
+You may also implement a custom SQL query to retrieve the nodelist using SQL syntax with the `query:` configuration parameter under the `sql:` stanza.
+
+### Custom SQL Query Examples
+
+You may have a table named `nodes` which contains a boolean to indicate if the nodes should be enabled (fetched via oxidized). This can be used in the custom SQL query to avoid fetching from known impacted nodes.
+
+In your configuration, you would add the `query:` parameter and specify the SQL query. Make sure to put this within the `sql:` configuration section.
+
+```sql
+query: "SELECT * FROM nodes WHERE enabled = True"
+```
+
+Since this is an SQL query, you can also provide a more advanced query to assist in more complicated oxidized deployments. The exact deployment is up to you on how you design your database and oxidized fetchers.
+
+In this example we limit the nodes to two "POPs" of `mypop1` and `mypop2`. We also require the nodes to have the `enabled` boolean set to `True`.
+
+```sql
+query: "SELECT * FROM nodes WHERE pop IN ('mypop1','mypop2') AND enabled = True"
+```
+
+The order of the nodes returned will influence the order that nodes are fetched by oxidized. You can use standard SQL `ORDER BY` clauses to influence the node order.
+
+You should always test your SQL query before using it in the oxidized configuration as there is no syntax or error checking performed before sending it to the database engine.
+
+Consult your database documentation for more information on query language and table optimization.
