1# The mysqli extension tests 2 3To run the tests, a test database must be created in the MySQL command-line: 4```sql 5CREATE DATABASE test; 6``` 7 8The test suite will create the necessary tables for testing, and then delete them when testing is complete. Creating a dedicated table prior to running the tests is unnecessary. There are default values for `MYSQL_TEST_HOST`, `MYSQL_TEST_USER`, `MYSQL_TEST_DB` and `MYSQL_TEST_PASSWD`. If your values differ from the defaults, then environment variables must be set. 9 10```bash 11# Database host 12# Default: localhost 13MYSQL_TEST_HOST 14 15# Database port 16MYSQL_TEST_PORT 17 18# Database user 19# Default: root 20MYSQL_TEST_USER 21 22# Database user password 23# The default password is empty (no password). 24MYSQL_TEST_PASSWD 25 26# Database name 27# Default: test 28MYSQL_TEST_DB 29 30# Storage engine to use 31MYSQL_TEST_ENGINE 32 33# Database server socket 34MYSQL_TEST_SOCKET 35``` 36 37## MySQL User Permissions 38 39The MySQL user used to run the tests must have full permissions on the test database.
