Hi Mac,
This is actually quite easy (although you've not supplied your Operating
System (OS)) win95,win98,winnt,win2000 is presumed:
1. Install MySQL
2. Go to the mysql\bin directory command line (DOS Box)
3. If you want to install on NT or 2000 do A) else do B)
A) mysqld-nt --install <ENTER>
net start mysql <ENTER>
B) mysqld-nt --standalone <ENTER>
4. A) Will install mysql as a service (Control Panel-Services) and B) will
have mysql run once will you are logged in.
5. Now mysql does have a command line interface called mysql.exe with which
to run sql queries
But if you don't like command lines you can pick any number of mysql windows
client and admin programs, see Contributed on the mysql website.
You can for example try Mascon: http://www.scibit.com/Mascon
