Getting Started

[MajorTechie]

Hello,

I recently downloaded MySQL for Windows. I've only ever used it with Linux. To my dismay, there was no clear way of launching mySQL in Windows (that I could see). Can anyone tell me how to get started?

start|run|
type in :
mysqld
this starts the mysql background daemon
type in mysql
now you have a mysql> prompt.

I'd suggest reading the anual as its very helpful. ***************************************

Click on the Mysqladmin.exe in C:\mysql\bin.

It will launch the admin panel.
