Database Setup

Development setup with test data

Login to database via Mariadb

Once logged on, do the following to create your local database and user to allow access via php:

Import Setup scripts for database setup, user setup and data population.

MariaDB[(none)]> source "/absolute/path/to/.../db/test_db_setup.sql"
MariaDB[(none)]> source "/absolute/path/to/.../db/schema.sql"
MariaDB[(none)]> source "/absolute/path/to/.../db/test_data.sql"

Production setup with empty database

1. Set database name, username, password, and database server variables in both db/config.php for database connection. Example:

$database = getenv('TAFS_DB')?: "t_tafs";
$servername = getenv('TAFS_DB_SERVER')?: "localhost";
$username = getenv('TAFS_DB_USER')?: "myuser";
$password = getenv('TAFS_DB_PASSWORD')?: "mypassword";

2. User Setup:

Login to database via Mariadb

Once logged on, do the following to setup a user for your database:

Example (used with setup from previous step):

MariaDB[none]> CREATE USER 'myuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

MariaDB[none]> GRANT USAGE ON t_tafs.* TO 'myuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

MariaDB[none]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

3. Set database name based on what was set in the last two steps: Example, Change first two lines of db/schema.sql to:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `t_tafs` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
USE `t_tafs`;

Then in MariaDB, import schema:

MariaDB[(none)]> source "/absolute/path/to/.../db/schema.sql"

4. (OPTIONAL) If wanting to populate the database with sample data, set database name in db/test_data.sql to the same one set in db/config.php variables (used with setup from previous step).

Change first two lines of db/test_data.sql to:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `t_tafs` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
USE `t_tafs`;

Then in MariaDB, import sample data:

MariaDB[(none)]> source "/absolute/path/to/.../db/test_data.sql"
