Hello Sherwin, Thanks for ur prompt reply.
Yes, I have gone thru the mySQL manual chapter that you have mentioned.. But what I think the problem is somewhere else.. when I try to execute the command 'mysql' (when I log in as user 'babul') on command line, I get the following error: ERROR 2002: Can't conect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) It seems that the mySQL server is not running on the system... where as when I in superuser mode or login thru mysql user, I get just the "mysql>" prompt..!! This is my first time with mySQL.. I m actually trying to restore a web database into my loca machine.. then update it locally and later withh restore it to the web server.. Babul --- "Sherwin T.
