GlacierPlease Be KIND... Good Day,
I will attempt to give you as much information about the software as I can before I ask the question(s). My computers OS is Win98 SE. I have downloaded MySQL Version 3.23.45 for Win 98 and, have installed it to my machine. I have also downloaded and, installed MySQL-Front Version 2.2 & My ODBC Version 2.50.39. I have been creating databases for years using MS Access. However, my largest db is well over 1Gig. And as you must know that Access has a very hard time processing after a Gig of info. I found out to my delight about MySQL and figured on moving the info to it. But I am having a lot of problems creating a new database in MySQL. OK, here we go... When I hit the MySQL-Front Icon, I get the "Connection to MySQL-Host". Now I click on the "New" button. I get the description screen, I type in the name of the new db. OK, now I get the Connection to MySQL-Host" again. And this is where everything falls apart. What goes where: Description: Database which you want to work on? (Yes or NO) Hostname / IP: HELP!!! User: Is it ROOT, ME or What? NOTE: I am NOT using a server. I merely want to use MySQL for its processing power. Password: (YES or NO) Port: 3306 This is what is in there now. I'm assuming that this is a "Local" port. Does this stay the same or is it suppose to be something else? Timeout: Please explain. Database(s): Here I go again, trying to assume. Is this the name of the database that you want to work on? I know a lot of people ask you a lot of dumb questions and, what I ask must be at the top of your, "Hey guys, look at this e-mail" but, I could really use the help. Thankx so much for reading this, Jeff Hertel --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
