I'm totally new to mysql so I may be asking a real dumb question here. Does anyone know whether the running of mysql_install_db necessary for the Windows distribution of mysql? I downloaded the binary mysql-3.23.43-win.zip file yesterday and ran the setup. However, there is no mysql_install_db installed (as described in the Technical Reference Manual.
Is this still necessary? Also, is this what installs a test/sample database?
