+# Startup Scripts
+
+ClickHouse can run arbitrary SQL queries from the server configuration during startup. This can be useful for migrations or automatic schema creation.
+
+```xml
+<clickhouse>
+    <startup_scripts>
+        <scripts>
+            <query>CREATE ROLE OR REPLACE test_role</query>
+        </scripts>
+        <scripts>
+            <query>CREATE TABLE TestTable (id UInt64) ENGINE=TinyLog</query>
+            <condition>SELECT 1;</condition>
+        </scripts>
+    </startup_scripts>
+</clickhouse>
+```
+
+ClickHouse executes all queries from the `startup_scripts` sequentially in the specified order. If any of the queries fail, the execution of the following queries won't be interrupted.
+
+You can specify a conditional query in the config. In that case, the corresponding query executes only when the condition query returns the value `1` or `true`.
+
+:::note
+If the condition query returns any other value than `1` or `true`, the result will be interpreted as `false`, and the corresponding won't be executed.
