1. A concise explanation of the problem you're experiencing.  
I am developing an aviation program that try to connect mysql database to the cesium and i don't know where to start.

2. A minimal code example. If you've found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.Route Of Flight

3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.

We want implement cesium into our application to demonstrate the real time flight with our database

4. The Cesium version you're using, your operating system and browser.

The latest one

Thanks,

Hi, and welcome to the Cesium community! The getting started guide is a good place to start:

> **[Getting Started | cesium.com](https://cesium.com/docs/tutorials/getting-started/)**

> A step-by-step guide to your first Cesium app.

You might also find the code examples on Sandcastle useful:

> The Cesium Sandcastle provides an interactive environment for testing Cesium code.

For your application, I know there were some community members building similar stuff. This recent forum post has some discussion about displaying live flight data:

If you have a specific question as you work on this I’d be happy to point you in the right direction. Is this something you’re developing that’d be available online?
