The WinMySqladmin is not used to create, remove or query a database. Your system is (or appears to be) working fine,
In order to do this, you have to use the mysql.exe client in the bin directory of mysql (try c:\mysql\bin). This is a "command line" driven system, based on sql If you want to use a gui then there is a separate download from the MySql website called the Command Center, which allows you to use a nice pretty interface to do that.

The server daemon seems started running well. Now, I want to create a new database. However, in the WinMySqlAdmin 1.4 tool, upon right clicking, in the dropdown list there are no "create database, create ..." items, only "flush table, flush ..." items. So I could not create a new database, nor tables. Question: (1) what could be the problem? -- could that be certain configuration problems? And (2) any suggestions to overcome/resolve it so that I could start creating new database and tables? Many thanks!
