Hi ! I would suggest you take a look at the wiki page on http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi and follow the link "Installation and Administration under Windows and Linux (GUI and DBMCLI)" on this page (and maybe other . This gives a step by step installation documentation.
The MaxDB docu is a typical SAP documentation. It contains endless amounts of information and if you are a experienced user that got used to the documentation logic it is extremely helpfull, but as long as you are nooby to the logic, it is near to absolutely worthless. (I myself am working with SAP systems for more the 10 years now so, ...) hope this helps to get you going regards Hermann On Sat, 2004-06-05 at 20:31, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I am complete noob to MySQL and MaxDB, and absolutely struggling with the > documentation.
