Database

Note: If you work in a large organization, you may need to ask your DBA team to complete 1 and 2.

    • Quit: exit
  2. Load the default configuration 
    • cd /opt/ssd/src/install
    • Load the default configuration settings by executing the following (this tutorial will assume you'll just use the root user to setup the initial database.  You can switch to a different user when you have completed the setup): mysql -u root -p ssd <config.sql
  3. Create the SSD schema
    • cd to /opt/ssd
    • Tell Django to create the schema: python manage.py syncdb
    • Create the DJango superuser when prompted to do so.
