h1. RCDB and CCDB information

Alexandre, Dillon, 

Here is CCDB documentation:

https://github.com/JeffersonLab/ccdb/wiki

Installation of MySQL database is available here

https://github.com/JeffersonLab/ccdb/wiki/Installation#mysql

But I also should mention that in order to try CCDB one doesn’t need MySQL as CCDB also works with SQLite database which is essentially a single file:

You may use HallD to play with existing and working database: 

To play with existing (readonly) HallD database you may use connection string mysql://hallddb.jlab.org/ccdb

export CCDB_CONNECTION=mysql://hallddb.jlab.org/ccdb

ccdb -i

Or HallD every day generates sqlite DB which you can download here mysql://hallddb.jlab.org/ccdb

HallD Wiki page 

https://halldweb1.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/SQLite-form_of_the_CCDB_database

RCDB

Documentation is here

https://github.com/JeffersonLab/rcdb/wiki/Installation

The same as with CCDB, you can use live RCDB example at HallD as a playground. The links are at wiki page above.

I should also mention that there are new versions of CCDB and RCDB are being prepared, which brings significant modernization and e.g. both ccdb and rcdb will be installable by pip, but as of now I would suggest using stable production versions as a start point. 

Kind regards,

Dmitry
