This tasks calls `db:reset` to create the database, calls `add_limits_mysql` that adds limits to the database schema in case of a MySQL database and finally it calls `db:seed_fu` to seed the database.
Note: `db:setup` calls `db:seed` but this does nothing.
### Automation
If you're very sure that you want to **wipe the current database** and refill
seeds, you could:
``` shell
echo'yes' | bundle exec rake setup
```
To save you from answering `yes` manually.
### Discard stdout
Since the script would print a lot of information, it could be slowing down
your terminal, and it would generate more than 20G logs if you just redirect
it to a file. If we don't care about the output, we could just redirect it to
`/dev/null`:
``` shell
echo'yes' | bundle exec rake setup > /dev/null
```
Note that since you can't see the questions from stdout, you might just want
to `echo 'yes'` to keep it running. It would still print the errors on stderr
so no worries about missing errors.
### Notes for MySQL
Since the seeds would contain various UTF-8 characters, such as emojis or so,
we'll need to make sure that we're using `utf8mb4` for all the encoding
settings and `utf8mb4_unicode_ci` for collation. Please check
