You need to be careful what you write. I have found that Shawn is one of the best guys on this list. His answers are 99% right on target (1% because not enough information was given) and can help on every version of db out there.
Don't start a flame war because your feelings were hurt. Grow up.

There are many others that help, but when I open my email and this is the first response I see, it just gets under my skin. FYI. I have posted some information in another response as to the problems with later versions etc. -----Original Message----- From: Logan, David (SST - Adelaide) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 30, 2005 5:57 PM To: Beauford; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: RE: Windows - logging into MySQL Sorry Beauford, The url that Shawn gave you is valid for the version you quoted. There hasn't been much change and they work just as well. This is also the earliest documentation that now exists on the website. What is the bad name this list has gained? I've found it helpful on numerous occasions. I think a reconsideration of your opinions would result in a change of heart. The documentation states the defaults that the mysql client program would accept, it also details how to set users and passwords exactly as you requested. These all work on 3.23.58 (I have this version installed at a customer site as we write). Perhaps if you detail the problems you had installing the later versions, somebody may be able to help.

First off, these instructions are for 4.1. Secondly. What makes you think I haven't read the instructions or searched extensively on Google etc. Either give a proper answer or just shut your mouth. Never mind anyone responding, I'll find my own damn answers. Thanks for the help. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 30, 2005 12:16 AM To: Beauford Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: Windows - logging into MySQL "Beauford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 11/29/2005 11:31:24 PM: > I just installed MySQL 3.23 (the only one I could get to work) and I > find that I can log into the server just by typing mysql at the DOS > prompt.
