I've just installed MySQL v5.0.15 on my 'Windows XP system and most ways
I want to connect to it fail. I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I've
searched the manual, the web, and the forums without seeing anything
that clearly addressed my problem. Help, please!
If I navigate through Programs / MySQL / MySQL Server v5.0 / MySQL
Command Line Client, I'm prompted for a password and when I enter the
password, I am connected and can work fine.
If I try to run mysqlshow, I see:
C:\Documents and Settings\Chris>mysqlshow sql
mysqlshow: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
If I run the command interpreter (cmd) and type "mysql -uroot -pmypwd",
it works now but I swear it didn't 10 minutes ago. Arg.
My real problem is that I've used MySQLKeeper with MySQL v4 and have
backups created with it that I want to restore into MySQL v5.0 and when
I try to connect with MySQLKeeper, I get:
CONNECT
Result: Connection error
Now, it may be that MySQL Keeper is trying to connect via ODBC and
that's why it's failing but I didn't think that's how it connected, it's
an MySQL-specific tool, why would it use ODBC? And shouldn't mysqlshow
work "out of the box"? How could I have installed MySQL to screw up
mysqlshow?
Thanks for any pointers.
Chris
