Hello, I have the Mysql 3.23.27-beta version installed on my Windows NT PC and I am able to create the database and query from the command line and from a Perl script. I was reading the readme file which comes with the installation about a GUI tool for Win32 version. I am typing an excerpt from the file as follows: - Most things appears to work nicely on Win32. We use the MySQL benchmarks and crash-me to check each version before releasing it. - The distributed default MySQL version is compiled with debugging information so one can get a trace file with: mysqld --debug. After one has verified mysqld works correctly one can switch to the optimized version: mysqld-opt or mysql-nt. - There are two versions of the 'mysql' command line tool; 'mysql', compiled on native Win32, which offers very limited text editing capabilities and 'mysqlc', compiled with the Cygnus gnu compiler and libraries, which offers readline editing. - The default permission is that anyone can use any database that starts with 'test' from any host and anyone running on the same machine as mysqld is running can take it down.mysqladmin shutdown. - Normally one should add a password for the 'root' user and take mysqld down with: mysqladmin --user=root --password=your_password shutdown In this case one should remove the entry with host='localhost' and user='' from the user database. The above is most easly done with: shell> mysql mysql mysql> delete from user where host='localhost' and user=''; mysql> quit shell> mysqladmin reload shell> mysqladmin -u root password your_password - This distribution includes the a prototype of a the GUI tool, MySQLManager, by James Pereria. This has still some rough edges, but it can serve as a great base for further development! - MySQLWinAdmn is a Delphi program, by David B. Mansel, to administrate MySQL databases. (Binary only). We are waiting for an updated version that will work with the current libmysql.dll - This distribution includes two small helper programs: - mysqlshutdown ; If one installs this program on Win95 / Win96 in the Programs/Startup folder then it will automaticly take down the mysqld daemon on reboot - mysqlwatch ; If you have problems on NT that MySQL dies (this should only happen when you testing/developing MySQL), this service will automaticly restart the mysqld service if notices that the mysqld server isn't running. (Thanks to Irena for the above programs!) If you would like to work on the MySQL win32 version, you can find a list of open issues in the reference manual. We are not that used with the Win32 environment so many of the issues may be real easy to solve for someone familiar with Win95/Win98/NT): If you want to help us develop MySQL for Win#/NT please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get help to set up your environment! All questions that are specific to the windows version should be posted to this list! Please remember to include all relevant information that may help solve your problem.
I would appreciate if I could get help on the GUI tool and appropriate info on how to acquire the tool. Thanks.
