22.4.2 Download and Import world_x Database

As part of this quick-start guide, an example schema is provided which is referred to as theworld_x schema. Many of the examples demonstrate Document Store functionality using this schema. Start your MySQL server so that you can load theworld_x schema, then follow these steps:

  1. Downloadworld_x-db.zip.

  2. Extract the installation archive to a temporary location such as/tmp/. Unpacking the archive results in a single file namedworld_x.sql.

  3. Import theworld_x.sql file to your server. You can either:

    • Start MySQL Shell in SQL mode and import the file by issuing:

      mysqlsh -u root --sql --file /tmp/world_x-db/world_x.sqlEnter password: ****

    • Set MySQL Shell to SQL mode while it is running and source the schema file by issuing:

      \sqlSwitching to SQL mode... Commands end with ;\source /tmp/world_x-db/world_x.sql

    Replace/tmp/ with the path to theworld_x.sql file on your system. Enter your password if prompted. A non-root account can be used as long as the account has privileges to create new schemas.
