You may use any existing MySQL database, as long as it doesn't
already contain tables named "pwhiteboard" and "pwhiteboard_snapshot".
Your database user must be able to create tables and indexes. If this
is the case, skip to step 2.
If you don't already have a database, then create one using the MySQL
client. Just replace username and password below.
mysql -u root -p
(enter the mysql root password to log in)
CREATE DATABASE pwhiteboard;
GRANT ALL ON pwhiteboard.* TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Those commands will create a database named pwhiteboard, and give
"username" the ability to connect to it and work with data. (For more
information on GRANT syntax, see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GRANT.html
