[ome-users] How to setup database in Blitz

[Paulo Almeida]

Hi Josh and Chris,

Thanks for your help, it seems to be working now, with Chris' commands, and I 
had missed that documentation page about OmeroGrid, which will be very 
helpful (for instance, to do something useful with it, now that it is 
running...). 

Thanks again,
Paulo
