I had managed to land a job that required me to learn MySQL quickly. I was used to working with access though, so what I did was find a utility for access called MyAccess which enables you to work in access but you are actually affecting a MySQL db - it has a few funny things that could put you off, but it is an exteremly good way off getting data from Access to MySQL if you are inexperienced - I think it is meant for Access 97, but I do have it working with Access 2003. However, one thing that I did find extremely useful was an application called MySQLFront. It works very much like access.
Search on the MySQL site for these, but I can remeber if they are something I had to pay for or not. I think they might be shareware which is usually a small fee. --- Aman Raheja <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey there > > It's alright - everyone starts someday. > Go on to start with the docs on mysql's website. > If there's something you don't get, come back here. > This is a great list to > help newbies. > > For your qns > Log in to mysql; > mysql> create database db; > > mysql> source db.sql; > > (this considers your db.sql in in the same dir) > > the alternative is, on command line > > $ mysql -p -u<user> db < db.sql > > The -p option makes you prompt for a password, so > don't use it if you don't > have one yet for this user. > > Also to know how only specific user may be > configured to use this database, > look at GRANT in mysql docs. > > HTH > > Aman Raheja > http://www.techquotes.com > > > > On Sat, 2 Apr 2005 19:20:46 +0100 (BST), Niki > Lampropoulou > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote : > > > I dont know how to do this very basuc, just > atrated > > working with MySQL and not sure about what I am > > supposed to do..
