Common-Data-Model / MySQL
=================
This folder contains the SQL scripts for MySQL. This was tested with MySQL v5.6.
Note: This was derived from the Postgres migration. Performance has not been tested.
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 indexes required - MySQL.sql` to add the minimum set of indexes we recommend (required before fk creation in MySQL).
5. Execute the script `OMOP CDM constraints - MySQL.sql` to add the constraints (primary and foreign keys).
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.
Note: There is a possibility depending on configuration / foreign_key_check setting that one would need to load the data after schema creation.
