Hi! First of all, in order for us to help you, we will need more concise descriptions of your problems installing mysql, i guess for what you are saying that you are installing on windows, so we will need at least to know, in what you are stuck, version of the OS you are using, what is going wrong, the command or actions you took or executed and the output so we can help you.
Regarding the things of having to access mysql ONLY trough a DOS windows, that is not at all right, sure you can do whatever you want with mysql using only the console, but you can also use a nice gui, a few examples: 1.- dbtools: www.dbtools.com.br 2.- sqlyog: www.sqlyog.com Best Regards On Tue, 2004-03-02 at 15:26, Randal wrote: > I am very new to this database thing.
