Chapter 1 - Introduction

`dbconfig-common` can:

- support MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite based applications

- create databases and database users

- access local or remote databases

- upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure

- remove databases and database users

- generate config files in many formats with the database info

- import configs from packages previously managing databases on their own

- prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions

- handle failures gracefully, with an option to retry.

- do all the hard work automatically

- work for package maintainers with little effort on their part

- work for local admins with little effort on their part

- comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behavior

- do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin

- perform all operations from within the standard flow of debian package maintenance (no additional skill is required of the local admin)
