# Setting up input data

The example in this document assumes that the customer data you want to look up is stored in a MySQL database.

If you want to replicate the example and use the exact input data, you can download the gettingstarted.sql file of the customer data and then import it in a MySQL database.

## Before you begin

* You have an access to a MySQL database.
* You have downloaded [](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-getting-started-guide-esb/8.0/Content/Resources/attachments/gettingstarted_source_files.zip)[gettingstarted_source_files.zip](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-getting-started-guide-esb/8.0/Content/Resources/attachments/gettingstarted_source_files.zip) and stored the source file gettingstarted.sql locally.

## Procedure

1. Open the MySQL Workbench to launch an instance of the database.
2. From the menu bar, select Server > Data Import to open the import wizard.
3. Select the Import from Self-Contained File option and browse to where you have stored the gettingstarted.sql file.
4. Select the schema to which you want to import the data, or click New... to define a new schema.
5. Click Start Import in the lower right corner.

## Results

The gettingstarted database is imported in the MySQL database.
