Installing MySql Community Server
In order to start using the SQL Driver in Comet, you must have access to a MySql database somewhere. It can be on your local machine, on the local network, or out on the internet somewhere. If you already have a MySql database server installed and configured, please skip forward to the Example Database and Tables section.
If you are setting up a MySql server, we recommend you download the free Community Server version of MySql 5.1. This is simply because we have been using mostly version 5.1 for testing, but the SQL driver should work with all 5.x and later versions of MySql server. Once you have downloaded the MSI installer, install it on your local machine (if you are simply testing), or on your server if you wish to host your MySql data elsewhere. Once the installation is complete, the wizard should automatically start the MySql configuration utility, which guides you through the rest of the set up process. If not, you can find it usually under Start->Programs->MySQL->MySQL Server X.X->MySQL Server Instance Config Wizard
