No more Beep

[WARR10R]

Dont know if anyone has already posted this but I thought I would mention it to speed up adding files to your database.
(windows xp)
open up Device manager and select VIEW show hidden files
and disable BEEP

you will need to reboot but it has saved me hours

Hope it is of some help

Or, if you're using mysql.exe, you can just do the following:

C:\mysql\bin>mysql -b -f -s -u <username> -p <password>

Just replace <username> with your username (usually root) and <password> with your password.

-b shuts off that pesky "beep on errors" setting. Speeds things up a LOT
-s shuts off those "1 rows updated" messages. Speeds things up even more.
-f sets it so that MySQL... OK, so I dont' really know what it does

The -f setting is...

-f or --force : Continue even if we get an sql error.
