 Database setup
-==============

-The script ``tools/test-setup.sh`` sets up databases as used by the
-unit tests.
+Dedicated mysql/postgresql database can be prepared using the script
+``tools/test-setup.sh``. In such case be sure to set ``[database].connection``
+option in the ``etc/keystone.conf`` file properly.
