initial database creation

[bataliero]

Hi
I’m looking for the best way to create an initial database during the cluster setup. My current thought is to create a Kubernetes Job that connects to the database and runs the necessary SQL commands to create the database . However, I’m wondering if there’s a more efficient or declarative way to handle this.

For example, is it possible to include an initdb.sql file or some equivalent directly in the MySQLCluster spec? If so, how would that work, and would it be better than using a Job?

Thanks in advance!
