title: Getting-started: Setup Database for Node.js
body: <p>I am new to node.js but am excited to try it out. I am using <a href="http://expressjs.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Express</a> as a web framework, and <a href="http://jade-lang.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jade</a> as a template engine. Both were easy to get setup following <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/11434722" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a> from <a href="http://camp.nodejs.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Node Camp</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However the one problem I am finding is <strong>I can't find a simple tutorial for getting a DB set up</strong>. I am trying to build a basic chat application (store session and message).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Does anyone know of a good tutorial?</strong> </p>
  
  <p>This other <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2750673/node-js-database">SO post</a> talks about dbs to use- but as this is very different from the Django/MySQL world I've been in, I want to make sure I understand what is going on.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
