[Digikam-users] MySQL details needed

[buedi]

Hi Jim,

I  created  the  digiKam  Database(s)  manually  on my MySQL Server. I
created    one    named    "digiKam"    and    another    one    named
"digiKam-Thumbnails".  But as far as I know it does not matter how you
name them.
Also  you  need  a MySQL User + Password for digiKam. Giving this User
full  permissions  on the Databases does not seem enough for now, so I
had  to  give  him full permissions on the MySQL Installation (I think
there´s also a Bug / Wishlist entry already about this).

Within digiKam the Configuration is easy. In the Database Config, just
switch from SQLite to digiKam and the GUI will change.
Here  you can enter the name / IP of your MySQL Installation, the Port
numbers,  the  names  of  the  2  databases  and  the  username  / password
combination.

If  you  already use digiKam and want to migrate to MySQL Server, then
you  can  use  the  Migrate  Menu  item  in digiKam (the one above the
Configure  digiKam Menu) to migrate your existing Database to your new
MySQL Database.

Kind regards!
