Autorank is not creating the table schema of the mysql database.
here is the config:
{settings.yml}
sql:
enabled: true
hostname: localhost:3306
username: {username is correct here}
password: '{password is correct in here}'
database: AutoRank
table: autorank

running mysql -u {username} -p from the command line works fine. I am able to connect CREATE tables and DROP tables.

issuing the command /ar set {playername} 10 gives an in game response that time was set however on server console The following error:
[09:58:30 INFO]: SQLDataStorage.executeQuery
[09:58:30 INFO]: SQLException: Table 'AutoRank.autorank' doesn't exist
[09:58:30 INFO]: SQLState: 42S02
