 # MySQL
 
-This RESTful Actix Web API examples illustrates how to connect to MySQL database using a MySQL client library implemented in Rust; e.g., MySQL database driver.
+This RESTful Actix Web API illustrates how to use a MySQL database as a data source for various endpoints.
 
-Below APIs are supported:
+You'll need to have a MySQL (or compatible) server running on your machine to test this example.
 
-- Add Bank
+## Usage
-- Add Branch
-- Add Teller
-- Add Customer
-- Get Bank
-- Get Branch
-- Get Teller
-- Get Customer
 
-The RESTful Actix Web API has below listed dependencies:
+All the following commands assume that your current working directory is _this_ directory. I.e.:
 
-- [Actix Web](https://github.com/actix/actix-web) web framework for Rust
+```console
-- [Serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) for serializing and deserializing Rust data structures
+$ pwd
-- [MySQL Server](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server) MySQL database server
+.../databases/mysql
-- [MySQL](https://github.com/blackbeam/rust-mysql-simple) MySQL database driver
+```
 
-## Instructions
+1. Create database and tables:
 
-### NOTE:
+   The `sql` directory contains the SQL files used for database setup:
 
-You may need to ensure that you are running the commands with the correct MySQL user/password.
+   ```sh
-
+   mysql -u root -p < sql/create_database.sql
-1. Access MySQL Server:
+   mysql -u root -p my_bank < sql/bank_details.sql
-
+   mysql -u root -p my_bank < sql/branch_details.sql
-   Log in to the MySQL Server using a user account that has the `CREATE DATABASE` privilege.
+   mysql -u root -p my_bank < sql/teller_details.sql
-
+   mysql -u root -p my_bank < sql/customer_details.sql
-1. Create database:
-
-   ```sql
-   CREATE DATABASE my_bank;
    ```
 
-1. Create tables in the database:
+   For each step you will be prompted for the root user's password. If there's no password set on the root use, just hit enter again.
 
-   The `sql` directory contains below listed ".sql" files:
+1. Create a `.env` file in this this directory:
-
-   - `bankdetails.sql`
-   - `branch_details.sql`
-   - `teller_details.sql`
-   - `customer_details.sql`
-
-   Copy the contents of each of the ".sql" and execute them separately on MySQL Server. This will create four tables in the database.
-
-1. Create `.env` file:
 
    ```ini
    SERVER_ADDR=127.0.0.1:8080
-   MYSQL_USER=XXX
+   MYSQL_USER=root
-   MYSQL_PASSWORD=XXX
+   MYSQL_PASSWORD=<password>
    MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
    MYSQL_PORT=3306
    MYSQL_DBNAME=my_bank
    ```
 
    Update "MYSQL_USER" and "MYSQL_PASSWORD" values with the correct MySQL user/password.
-   If your password contains dollar sign "$", then remember to escape it eg "123$abc" will need to be changed to "123\\$abc"
 
 1. Run the server:
 
-   ```shell
+   ```sh
    cargo run
    ```
 
-1. Using a different terminal send an HTTP GET/POST requests to the running server:
+1. Using a different terminal send requests to the running server. For example, using [HTTPie]:
 
-   The `apis` directory contains below listed API's files:
+   ```sh
+   http POST :8080/bank bank_name="Bank ABC" country="Kenya"
 
-   - `bank.txt`
+   http :8080/bank
-   - `branch.txt`
+   ```
-   - `teller.txt`
-   - `customer.txt`
 
-   Copy the curl request on each of the ".txt" and execute them on separate terminals. Each ".txt" contains curl request and expected JSON response data.
+   See [the API documentation pages](./apis/) for more info.
