<p>I want to set initial data(script file which creates database and table) on MySQL of container.I have another pod which will talk with mysql pod and inserts data in the table.If I delete mysql pod,it creates an another pod but the previously inserted data is lost.I don't want to lose the data which was inserted before deleting the pod.How to accomplish this?
I have created pv and pvc and the data is being lost after deleting the pod.</p>

<p>Write a script and attach it to post start hook. Verify that the database is present and online. Then go ahead and run sql commands to create required data </p>
