Address Book

This example is courtesy of Diogo Resende and illustrates setting up an address book for typical mail clients such as Thunderbird or Evolution over a MySQL database.

// MySQL test: (create on database 'abook' with username 'abook' and password 'abook')
//
// CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
//   `id` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
//   `username` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
//   `password` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
//   PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
//   KEY `username` (`username`)
// ) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
// INSERT INTO `users` (`username`, `password`) VALUES
// ('demo', 'demo');
// CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `contacts` (
//   `id` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
//   `user_id` int(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
//   `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
//   `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
//   PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
//   KEY `user_id` (`user_id`)
// ) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
// INSERT INTO `contacts` (`user_id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES
// (1, 'John Doe', 'john.doe@example.com'),
