[FM Discuss] Databases

[Lachlan Musicman]

Hola

I was chatting to Muntek in the Redmine IRC channel this morning about
the process/where to start on their new book.

As I was looking through their Installation docs, I noticed something
that I see everytime I look at these types of systems (wordpress,
civicrm, etc) - namely, you need a database. And they are mostly the
same - mysql, postgres, sqlite...

Would it be outrageous to suggest that we have a (bigger-than-snippet)
doc on how to create a database and dump/backup a database in each of
those systems?

I could probably have something ready by the end of the week if yes -
it would pretty much be just the basics - a one stop shop for getting
started using backed software.

I would imagine it would work quite well under the "GNU/LINUX
Commands" docs...what do people think?

cheers
L.
