This guide will show you how to prepare a MySQL or MariaDB database for PowerDNS-Admin.
We assume the database is installed per your platform's directions (apt, yum, etc).
Directions to do this can be found below:
- MariaDB:

- https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mariadb-on-ubuntu-20-04

We assume the database is installed per your platform's directions (apt, yum, etc). The following directions assume a default configuration and for productions setups `mysql_secure_installation` has been run.
## Setup database:
Connect to the database (Usually using `mysql -u root -p` - then enter your MySQL/MariaDB root users password if applicable), then enter the following:
Connect to the database (Usually using `mysql -u root -p` if a password has been set on the root database user or `sudo mysql` if not), then enter the following:
```
CREATE DATABASE `powerdnsadmin` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `powerdnsadmin`.* TO 'pdnsadminuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit
```
- If your database server is located on a different machine then change 'localhost' to '%'
- Replace YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE with a secure password.
Once there are no errors you can type `quit` in the mysql shell to exit from it.
## Install required packages:
### Red-hat based systems:
```
yum install MariaDB-shared mariadb-devel mysql-community-devel
```
If you use MariaDB ( from [MariaDB repositories](https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/installing-mariadb-10-on-centos-7-rhel-7/) )
### Debian based systems:
```
apt install libmysqlclient-dev

## Known issues:
Problem: If you plan to manage large zones, you may encounter some issues while applying changes. This is due to PowerDNS-Admin trying to insert the entire modified zone into the column history.detail.

Using MySQL/MariaDB, this column is created by default as TEXT and thus limited to 65,535 characters.
Solution: Convert the column to MEDIUMTEXT:
```
USE powerdnsadmin;
ALTER TABLE history MODIFY detail MEDIUMTEXT;
```
1. Connect to the database shell as described in the setup database section:
2. Execute the following commands:
```
USE powerdnsadmin;
ALTER TABLE history MODIFY detail MEDIUMTEXT;
