I generally read responses to my requests for help with care ... and gratitude! So I did read Paul's post. To my knowledge it doesn't answer my (subsequent) question:
> Is there some other way to have the MySQL server running on a > standalone Win > system other than as a service? Which way is appropriate for standalone? But then I don't know what "registered" is and can't see any reference to this word in the WinXP "Computer Management" utility, or the MySQL service's properties there. I am asking in case having the server as a Win "service" is only needed when serving other machines on a network but there's a better way of running the server for local use. Is this "Computer Management" utility what Paul's referring to as the "Services Manager"? Do I have to use that tool to manually start the server (as per Paul), or can I do C:>NET START ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Carp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Uriel Wittenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Gerald R.

Which way is appropriate for standalone? Read Paul's previous post.

It won't start whenever Windows starts. sql, query --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
