Red carpet for you!!!! Using shared memory! last one was Monty while developing MySQL 3.x!!!
Sorry Siva, A bit of fun about MySQL on windows shared-memory protocol :) I have no experience on Shared Memory protocol and as me I think 99.999% of MySQL users. I think it would be way more appropriate to use TCP/IP so that (1) you can migrate to Linux/Mac anytime hassle-free (2) find a zillion people ready to help you. If you still want to be helped with this protocol please provide: MySQL Version my.ini mysql full configuration report (you may use mysql -h127.0.0.1 -P3306 -uroot -e "show variables" this will work if no root password is set, otherwise add the -p parameter) Thanks!
