The mysql_database resource is moved to the `database` cookbook in the latest 
version.

If your local Chef Repository is a Git version controlled repository, you 
should use `knife cookbook site install` to retrieve new versions.

    knife cookbook site install mysql
    knife cookbook site install database

This will automatically integrate the cookbooks into your repository, 
creating branches and revision tags as described here:
