SQL instal

[nicasa]

Hi All,

I am new to the world of SQL and would like some help regarding the start at the DOS prompt.

I have a very basic query ...

I have done a basic install but when I type mysql at the DOS prompt I get a "You do not have permission error ..., cannot logon as local host"

The SQL server is on the same machine as the installation and I would simply like an anonymous log in.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Steven Matthews

Try mysql -u root -p
Then hit enter.

I think mysql ships with a blank password for M$ users. The first thing to do is...change the root pw.
