	Users who use MySQL library sharing do not need to do anything special for Kodi. As always, it is still a good idea to backup your MySQL databases anyways. If this is the first time you are upgrading any version of XBMC to another, then you will still want to review '''[[MySQL/Upgrading]]''' to make sure your MySQL server is set up correctly.

	If you use "xbmc" as a username or password in your advancedsettings.xml file, you do not need to change it. In fact, it's probably easiest to just leave your advancedsettings.xml file just the way it is. The MySQL server doesn't know or care that the program's name has changed from XBMC to Kodi.
