Using MySQL database
====================

If you want to use MySQL you can configure your own database by doing:

.. sourcecode:: bash

	helicopter:~# mysql -u root -pMYPASSWORD

.. sourcecode:: sql

    CREATE DATABASE sanet;
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sanet.* TO 'sanet'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'sanet';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sanet.* TO 'sanet'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'sanet';
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


User name and database name MUST match the ones provided in settings.py (see :doc:`../install/settings`)
