How to setup database connection

mysql -u root -proot -h localhost
create database testdatabase;
CREATE USER 'test'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'test';
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'test'@'localhost'; 
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'test'@'%' ;
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'test'@'localhost'; 
use testdatabase;
CREATE TABLE users (
  userID varchar(32) NOT NULL,
  print1 LONGBLOB,
  PRIMARY KEY (userID),
  INDEX	(userID)
);
exit

mysql -u test -ptest -h localhost
use testdatabase;
show tables;
select * from users;

Access denied for user 'test'@'localhost' to database 'testdb'

works only before mysql_8 version

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testdatabase.* TO 'test'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'test';

from mysql 8 onwards

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testdatabase.* TO 'test'@'%' ;

Installation cannot continue due to the following problems:-The following incompatible products are installed:DigitalPersona U are U RTE

Solution:

what is the download link for SDK

http://devportal.digitalpersona.com/fulfillment/download.php?id=132400

Digitalpersona was acquired by crossmatch then hidglobal
digitalpersona.com --> crosmmatch.com --> hidglobal.com

scanner video should be shown to user

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U4G3XLT7VQ

Future scopes of improvement

Add content section on top

driver download link should have 2 -3 options

downloaded directory should be explained in video

images of before installing driver and after installing driver should be compared in front of user

make one github link for windows installer msi guide
