# MySQL

So before doing anything, make sure that inside the configs for both backend and proxy, the mysql credentials are correctly set. By default there's a 2 second delay between player removal/add.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```yaml
database:
  type: "sqlite" # mongodb, sqlite, mysql
  mysql:
    host: 'host'
    database: 'database'
    username: 'username'
    password: 'password'
```

{% endcode %}

The database type doesn't necessarily need to be mysql, you can leave it as it is normally. Make sure though that this is set to MySQL:

```yaml
# ######################################################
#                       PROXY                          #
# ######################################################
proxy:
  # Master switch for proxy functionality
  enabled: false

  # The name of this server as registered in the proxy network
  # This should match the server name in your proxy's configuration
  server_name: 'dev2'

  # Data storage method for cross-server communication
  # Available options: Redis, Lettuce, MySQL
  # Note: If using MySQL, ensure correct database details are provided in the "database" section
  storage: "mysql" # <-- !!!!

  # Redis connection settings (RECOMMENDED)
  # Only relevant if storage matches set to "redis" or "lettuce"
  redis:
    # Redis connection URI
    # Format: redis://[:password@]host[:port][/database]
    uri: "redis://:password@host:port/0"
```

Read more about the other settings inside the config itself.
