Hi,
I have been using mysql fine on a win32 box.. but have now also installed it on Linux
box. The version details are below:
Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.5-15smp
I am using this version of mySQL:
mysqladmin Ver 5.3 Distrib 3.20.32a, for pc-linux-gnu on i686
TCX Datakonsult AB, by Monty
Server version 3.20.32a
Protocol version 9
Connection Localhost via UNIX socket
TCP port 3306
UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Uptime: 17 hours 9 min 15 sec
I can log in as root no problem but some of the functions dont seem to be working.
Check the following example:
mysql> use mysql;
ERROR: parse error near 'use mysql' at line 1
Although if I login selecting the mySQL database and enter a SELECT statement it seems
to work without any problems..
mysql> select * from user;
2 rows in set (0.02 sec)

Or if I try to create a new DB from the monitor I get this error:
mysql> create database testdb;
ERROR: parse error near 'database testdb' at line 1
But when I carry out the same task using mysqladmin it works fine:
[root@monty mysql]# mysqladmin create testdb
Database "testdb" created.
I am assuming that the server is configured incorrectly in some way..
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jon.
