Common-Data-Model / MySQL
=================
This folder contains the SQL scripts for MySQL.
In order to create your instantiation of the Common Data Model, we recommend following these steps:
1. Create an empty schema.
2. Execute the script `OMOP CDM ddl - MySQL.sql` to create the tables and fields.
3. Load your data into the schema.
4. Execute the script `OMOP CDM constraints - MySQL.sql` to add the constraints (primary and foreign keys).
5. Execute the script `OMOP CDM indexes required - MySQL - With constraints.sql` to add the minimum set of indexes we recommend.
Note: you could also apply the constraints and/or the indexes before loading the data, but this will slow down the insertion of the data considerably.
Also note: you can apply the indexes without first applying the constraints, but then we recommend you use the script `OMOP CDM indexes required - MySQL - Without constraints.sql`. (This script will also create the indexes that would normally be automatically created by the primary key constraints.)
