+examples:
+   - code: mysql_db db=bobdata state=present
+     description: create a new database with name 'bobdata'
+notes:
+   - Requires the MySQLdb Python package on the remote host. For Ubuntu, this is as easy as apt-get install python-mysqldb.
+   - Both 'login_password' and 'login_username' are required when you are passing credentials. If none are present, the module will attempt to read the credentials from ~/.my.cnf, and finally fall back to using the MySQL default login of 'root' with no password.
