Hi,
Hi,
I wish to learn SQL, and as some of my friends already use MySQL, they
recommended that I too use it. Please can you tell me what I need to
download and install to get me going.
I have:
Pentium III 450Mhz, 256Mb Ram
Windows 98
I don't have a C or C++ compiler installed.
My PC is not connected to a network - it is standalone.
I had earlier downloaded just the zip file for version 4.0.4-beta (Windows).
I unzipped it and ran the 'setup' program.
Once setup had completed I tried the test on the server - at no point had I
run the Admin program or created the my.cnf or my.ini.
I opened a dos window and from the directory c:\mysql\bin entered:
mysqld --standalone
No other text was shown in the dos window and it appeared to hang. The
whole computer also seemed to 'hang'. I had to use ctrl C to kill the
application and get back normal operation to my PC.
Why you had killed the mysqld server ?. The mysqld.exe is a console
application that when started with --standalone option it works in
the background.
If you want to see the console screen then issue:
C:\mysql\bin>mysqld-opt --standalone --console
021019 17:25:31 InnoDB: Started
mysqld-opt: ready for connections
and for to work with the mysql client:
C:\>c:\mysql\bin\mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 3.23.53-max
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql>
after a fresh installation left the root password blank.
for to shutdown the server:
C:\>c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin shutdown
021019 17:27:27 mysqld-opt: Normal shutdown
021019 17:27:27 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
021019 17:27:29 InnoDB: Shutdown completed
021019 17:27:29 mysqld-opt: Shutdown Complete
I then tried manually creating the file c:\my.cnf and populated with the
information given in the installation instructions. The server still hung.
I then tried using the admin program with the similar results - the green
traffic light was showing, but the dos window that was displayed appeared
'hung' and again the PC itself seemed to have hung - it operated extremely
slowly. The task manager showed the admin tool as 'not responding'.
What have I/am I doing wrong?
