How to Open Schema.sql in the Blog Demo of Tornado?

Question

I am able to execute the chat and similar basic Python projects with the command prompt, though I do not know yet how to execute a project with an SQL database.

Can somebody suggest me a way to open the SQL file schema.sql so I can have a look at the blog demo?

I am using Python 2.7 with the recent version of Tornado on Windows 7

ps

I do understand now that the SQL file is just text with SQL commands and I simply could copy and paste it, though I also see that the CREATE DATABASE command is commented out in the file so I would have to add that one too.

I am wondering which way would be good to achieve this?

I can tell by the blog.py file (when I open it) that the database connection happens to a MySQL database, thus I would not be able to use SQLite or similar.

Though I have XAMPP installed would that work? Remember that XAMPP runs on Apache while the blog demo runs on the Tornado server. Would this constellation work out properly?

Answer 1

If you have XAMPP running, the easiest for you would be to go in Php My Admin ( http://localhost/phpmyadmin ). Then, in the SQL tab, copy-paste the SQL file you want and press OK.

Just run the Tornado server then, and it should work fine.
