Hi Peter !
Many thanks for your helpful suggestions.
Write DDL by hand, like the other source code, and store that under version control. Otherwise you will inevitably get lots of noise in the repository.
fixed that.
I suggest using the configuration files read by the client library to
set a password, if any. I would suggest $USER as default username, and connecting without a password by default. If a password is needed, set it in one of the config files read by libmysqlclient.
will fix at over the weekend.
Oh, and I recommend everyone to use MariaDB instead of MySQL - the most competent MySQL developers left Oracle several years ago and work on MariaDB now. Drop-in replacement. https://mariadb.org/
to be honest i heard the first time of it.
