-### Database initialization
-
-The following SQL will initialize the database for this application.  No automigrate / initialization is done upon first running the application, so this must be ran by an administrator.  
-
-```sql 
-SET NAMES utf8;
-SET time_zone = '+00:00';
-SET foreign_key_checks = 0;
-
-CREATE DATABASE `counter` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */;
-USE `counter`;
-
-CREATE TABLE `visit` (
-  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
-  `ip_address` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
-  `visits` int(11) NOT NULL,
-  `last_visited` datetime NOT NULL,
-  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
-) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
