Running MySQL

You must manually start MySQL the first time.

c:\mysql\bin\winmysqladmin.exe

You will be prompted to create an admin username and Password. This is the login information for the admin tool,not any specific database or table.

Once the admin account is created, the server will be running(either as a program in Win 9x or as a service in NT) and will run each time you start Windows. The “traffic light” systemtray icon shows you its working.

Running MySQL

Run the MySQL command interface by executing c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe

Type show databases; toSee the current databasesConfigured on the server.By default, “mysql” and“test” should be there.

Type use test; to specifythat database.

Running MySQL

Let’s create a table.

Type show tables; to seeCurrently defined tables in“test”.

Issue create table commandto create a table. Now run show tables; again to verify what you’ve done.

create table tablename (column datatype);

Running MySQL

Insert some data into the table you’ve just createdusing the “insert into” SQLcommand.

Verify the insert by “selecting” the information backout.

insert into tablename (field1, field2,…)values (value1, value2,…);

select [list of fieldnames or *]from tablename;
