I downloaded and installed mysql 5. to test my files locally before uploading them to my server. In Yank's book there are instructions (pg.5) about installing vs.3.23, asking to go to my DOS command line and type >mysqld-nt --install. I suppose that has been replaced in vs 5. by auto installation and the command line client?
Speaking of DOS - that means ur on a Windows machine. mySQL has a really nice windows installer you might want to try out instead
yes, you are correct, the latest versions have a nice windows installer than makes it really simple - as compared to having to go to the dos command line to execute certain commands... i also suggest you go to the mysql website and download the utilities - the query browser and the administrator modules...
I think that is the one I used - (it ends with .msi). So I suppose it is all installed properly - thanks a lot!
