+MySQL is only experimentally supported with the patch attached to ticket #986.  It also has several limitations.
+ * Have a working copy of MySQL version 4.1.12 or greater.
+ * [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python MySQLdb] - Python database driver for MySQL
+ * Create a database and user for your Trac environment
+{{{
+% createdatabase dbname
+% mysql
+> grant all privileges on dbname.* to dbuser identified by 'dbpass';
+> quit
+}}}
+ * Run trac-admin to create a new Trac environment.  When prompted for a database connection string, use:
+{{{
+mysql://dbuser:dbpass@host:port/dbname
+}}}
+ * or
+{{{
+mysql://dbuser:dbpass@host/dbname
+}}}
