"""
This very simple CLI application is used to automate process of recreating existing database or creating new one.
It's written in Python 3.6. and it uses MySQLdb library for connection with database. 
On start, it asks for credentials. You can just skip inputs (by pressing enter) for default values.
If you don't have MySQLdb package, install it with: 
    `sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev python3-mysqldb`
