+DATABASE SETUP
+==============
+
+* MySQL
+-------
+Setting up the mysql database can be done by creating an empty database,
+importing the table layout and granting the proper permissions to the
+roundcube user. Here is an example of that procedure:
+
+# mysql
+> create database 'roundcubemail';
+> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO roundcube@localhost
+ IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
+> quit
+# mysql roundcubemail < SQL/mysql.initial.sql
+
+* SQLite
+--------
+Sqlite requires specifically php5 (sqlite in php4 currently doesn't
+work with roundcube), and you need sqlite 2 (preferably 2.8) to setup
+the sqlite db (sqlite 3.x also doesn't work at the moment). Here is
+an example how you can setup the sqlite.db for roundcube:
+
+# sqlite -init SQL/sqlite.initial.sql sqlite.db
+
+Make sure your configuration points to the sqlite.db file and that the
+webserver can write to the file.
