HI This is srikanth, and i am persuing my final semester of Masters in Computers Applications in India, I have been recently to you site on advice of one of my friend, and i have downloaded your setup file from the net and installed the database and the odbc setup file both in my c:\mysql directory. The problem what i am facing is i have created a database by name welcome and in that yesterday i have created 6 tables and after my work i have shut down my pc and today when i opened the pc and checked the databse exists but no tables are there in the database. I have not even used the option of temporary table creation. I have just created my table by using the following command create table welcomelist( uname varchar(30),reg_date datetime,lname varchar(50),product varchar(10),node varchar(5)) and the table got created and now when i open my database i didnt find any table there. Kindly help me through this problem, as for my final semester project i have already commited that i will use mysql as backend to complete the project. Expecting your reply very soon Regards Srikanth ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through : http://mail.sify.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
