# MySQL Setup Guide

Use MySQL 8 or MariaDB with InnoDB and utf8mb4. Keep the connection limit conservative on shared hosting:

```env
DATABASE_URL="mysql://user:encoded_password@localhost:3306/pmap_conference?connection_limit=5"
```

Production migration command:

```bash
pnpm prisma:migrate:deploy
```

Local-only development migration command:

```bash
pnpm prisma migrate dev --name init
```
