How to connect to a MySQL DB file?

Question

MySQL

I am working on a project on asp.net core 2.1. I use mysql database and entity framework. There is a need to upload the project to git, so that a person can download, and without changing the connection string, get the project with my database data. Is it possible somehow to pull the database file, drag it into the project folder and connect directly to that file ?

Answer 1

There are several ways.
1. Try to use Sqlite

You will have a database file right in the project
2. Use a docker container if mysql is so critical

When starting the project, you will need to initialize the initial data
