How to setup DB

We are using MariaDB, but any MySQL-compatible database should be enough. There are instructions how to setup it for using with E949.

1. Login to your SQL database with admin account:

mysql -u root -p

2. Setup new user and database:

CREATE USER e949@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE DATABASE e949 CHARACTER SET = 'utf8';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON e949.* TO e949@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT

3. Login with new account:

mysql -u e949 -p

4. Create tables:
