This course is going to cover how to use MySQL with Python. This is going to be a hands-on course, so you’ll need a MySQL database if you want to follow along. We’ll be using PlanetScale for the entirety of the course.

Let’s get the database set up.

You’ll follow these steps to set everything up:

1. Create a PlanetScale account
2. Create a new database
3. Install the PlanetScale CLI
4. Set up the Python script

First, visit PlanetScale and create an account.

Step 2: Create a new database

To create a new database, scroll down to the bottom of the dashboard and click on the “Create” link.

Enter a name for your database. In our case, we’ll use hotel_management
