The following configuration only details the SSB specific steps. To install and configure MySQL or MariaDB, you must complete the basic steps in the Private Cloud Base documentation.

Creating MySQL/MariaDB database for SSB🔗

You need to create the MySQL/MariaDB dabase that will be used for the Streaming SQL Console.

```
mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
```

Create databases for the Streaming SQL Console:

CREATE DATABASE ssb_admin DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Grant all privileges for the created database:

GRANT ALL ON ssb_admin.* TO 'ssb_admin'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';

Confirm that you have created the Streaming SQL Console database:
```
SHOW DATABASES;
