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.

mysql -u root -p

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

mysql -u e949 -p
