Installation

The PASA mysql user requires full privileges so it can create databases, which it apparently does for every analysis.
these privileges must also exist for '%', so that all the nodes can also do this.
the issue of a key being too long for mysql was corrected by replacing 1000 with 500 in this line.

gene_id varchar(1000) default NULL,

in the $PASAHOME/schema/cdna_alignment_mysqlschema file on line 174, which was also an issue back in 2013 (see links section).
