# Import the package
import pyoomysql

# Create Database object
mydb = pyoomysql.Datbase(
    hostname = "example.com",
    port = 3306
)

# Connect
mydb.connect(
    username="someuser",
    password="super_secret_password"
)

# Create a schema object
myschema = pyoomysql.Schema(
    database = mydb,
    name = "some_schema"
)

# Create Table object
mytable = pyoomysql.Table(
    schema = myschema,
    name = "some_table"
)

# Create User object
myuser = pyoomysql.User(
    name = "some_nice_username",
    host = "% or host to connect from",
    password = "very_long_and_strong_password"
)

# Create the user in the database
myuser.create()
