# Configure MySQL or MariaDB Pentaho Repository Database

Now that you have initialized your repository database, you will need to configure Quartz, Hibernate, Jackrabbit, and Pentaho Operations Mart for a MySQL database.

By default, the examples in this section are for a MySQL database that runs on port 3306. The default password is also in these examples.

**CAUTION:**

If you have a different port or different password, make sure that you change the password and port number in these examples to match the ones in your configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/10.2-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/archive-installation/archive-installation-process/use-mysql-or-mariadb-as-your-repository-database-archive-installation/configure-mysql-or-mariadb-pentaho-repository-database-shared.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
