why not download the one *with* the installer instead of the one listed as WITHOUT....


from mysql 5.0 download page :

Windows downloads (platform notes)

The Windows download contains both the Standard and Max server binaries. It also contains a version of the command-line client which uses the Cygwin library to provide command history and editing. Source code for the version of Cygwin we have used is available on this page.

thanks, I think last time I downloaded something else, it was not even database I think.

Now what interface I should use?, should I use 'MYSQL control center' or phpmyadmin?

Thanks

or SQLyog or .. or ...

Horses for course mate, they all do pretty much the same stuff, but they all present it differently.

Try em all, see which one you prefer. Somewhere here is a thread on which gui is best, you'll need to search the mysql forum for that tho. Raised some valid points.
