Database configuration

1. Assuming you have docker installed ...run the following comand to pull the mysql image

  docker pull mysql

2. After the download is complete run the following command to start an instance of the image

docker run --name fleet-frontier-server -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=default123 -p 33062:3306 -d mysql

3. Ensure the container fleet-frontier-server is running and connect it to either mysql workbench or your favourite software to run the sql commands.

NB:Make sure you use the server as localhost, port as 33062, username as root and password as default123

4. After connecting it successfully open the db_config folder and run the commands in fleet_finder.sql to create the database and populate it with sample data by running the commands in sample_data.sql in the software you connected the server to.

5. It is recommended that if you previously had created and populated the database that you drop it first and create it again because there have been some updates to the commands.For this you will need to run

DROP DATABASE fleet_finder;

6. You will need to run a sql command to create a user for login purposes

USE fleet_finder;
INSERT INTO user(username, password) VALUES ('<your_username>', '<your_password>');

7. Now open the solution in visual studio and run it...hopefully it works ✨ 💀
