Slow replies (DNS problem?)
I read your manual, but the details aren't always covered. I want to add -skip-name-resolution the the my.ini file. That file doesn't seem to be anywhere, although the WinMySqlAdmin tool says yes there is one present. I know I can edit it from the tool, but what would I add to it? I'm using 3.23.36 on Win98 for learning purposes... I'm also having trouble displaying the whole admin -help information, because even though my DOS window has a scrollbar, 50 lines is the maximum number which can be viewed, and the beginning of the information simply disappears, never to to seen again! I'm working my way step by step through the manual. Mysql is installed successfully, up and running, starts stops. I've created a table in the test database, but can't insert data into any of the fields, don't know how to view the structure of the table, and wonder if mysql supports returning schema data using jdbc driver from mark mathews. Fun, but tedious.- pablo alonso, ventura, ca.
WinMySqlAdmin
Using version 3.23.36 on Win98 I see a problem with the new tool. On the databases tab I can view the databases and their tables in a tree view. If, in the right hand pane, I select my table, and wish to view its fields, I expect to see the field names, their datatypes, and other field-related information in a 7-column table-like display below called "Table Columns". Each row of this display corresponds to a field in the table. Those 7 columns are not resizable, but the main problem is that only six columns of information about each field are pulled from my table, therefore the field name of my second field falls into the wrong column in the "Table Columns" display (which incidentally is mis-spelled "previleges". Should be priveleges). Oops! - pablo alonso, ventura, ca.
just a question
Using ver 8.18 dist 3.23.36 on win98se. It unzipped just fine, installed and starts mysqld-opt in the background at startup. The nice GUI is a green traffic light in the system tray, but it frequently disappears, and seems to hang if I attempt to restart it. I don't know how to restart it, and I am reading through the manual, as well as helpful links to tutorials, but it is going slow. When I run mysqladmin -help, my DOS window is too small to display the information at the beginning, and there's no option to display a page at a time (like /p). I created a table using jdbc (driver from mark mathews), but can't do much else yet. Help me know, please, how to get back the traffic light, why I crash it so often, and where I can get more help for running on win98. I can run a web server (OrionServer) just fine on my machine, but there's a line in the manual saying win98 doesn't support running mysqld as a service. - pablo alonso - ventura, california
