[chef] Re: Help using chef community mysql cookbook for idempotent chef-client runs

Hey Eric, 

Have you tried checking out the database cookbook? https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/database

There are LWRPs that should help you do what you are looking to do.

I'm been working my way through using various chef community cookbooks, but I'm a little stuck on using the mysql cookbook.

I can install the MySQL service fine, but I'm having trouble with creating users and database(s) in a way that's idempotent once the users and databases are there. 

Also, is there a way to import a schema or an existing database dump file that I have copied to the client from the chef server?

Thanks for any suggestions.
