I have downloaded version 3.23.43 of MySQL but regret to find the manual notes at "3. Introduction to MySQL: A MySQL Tutorial" on how to get started are not at all clear and I need some help. QUESTION 1. Having apparently installed MySQL I now have a little traffic-light with a green light which seems to indicate that the server is running. But if I run MySqlManager I end up with a "MySqlM1" window with two Folders called "Test" and "MySQL" - the significance of which escapes me. If I go to File|Open and navigate to my SQL DataBase (named ELECTION) and click on the green arrow I get a further window (identical to the first) opening inside the original - with the name of my DataBase (ELECTION) as the Caption. Which seems to indicate that I am accessing my DataBase . If click on Tools|SQL Query I get a window - but no "mysql>" comes up anywhere - behind which I imagine I might enter something like "SELECT * FROM USER". And if I enter "SELECT * FROM USER" (where USER is a Table in DataBase ELECTION) and click on the green arrow I get a "No Database Selected" exception. What am I missing? PROBLEM 2 I have developed several Applications in Delphi 4 based upon Paradox Tables and am now re-engineering everything (using Delphi 6) to be based upon a SQL DataBase instead. For which I hope to use MySQL Server to access the DataBase. What Components/Objects should I be using - either in Delphi 6 or anywhere else? PROBLEM 3. As I shall be deploying packages of my software via a website "for trial" of interested parties - how should I deploy MySQL to these parties? As these will only operate for a limited period does the question of licensing arise? PROBLEM 4. Where a party finally decides he wants to use my development what would your licensing requirements be - for myself and him? Thanks in advance.
