Hi Rob,
I have an application self-installer program which also installs
MySQL and sets it up. This is all on Windows.
I have a problem in that when the installer runs 'net start MySQL',
it returns immediately but the MySQL daemon is not ready for
connections immediately. As the next step in the installation is to
create the application database, I need to wait until I can connect.
What's the best way to achieve this? At the moment I have a rather
crude 5 second 'sleep', but that isn't always long enough. Any ideas?
The only way really to handle this is to loop and delay until MySQL
responds to a simple ping like "SELECT 1".
Regards,
Jeremy
