Enough with the polls already... They are getting very old...

Some of the mySQL files don't have a bin, I found that out before. You could have downloaded the wrong file from their sourceforge page. If you have windows, download the win9x file. I did just the win file before and that didn't have a bin, it was.....differant

If this ain't what you wanted, then you confused me....seriously, LOL

[chocobo]

wheres the win9x download? and if i get this i no longer need mysql correct?



And trump thats not cool at all dude i am really trying hard on this. thanks alot

I'll help you if you promise no more stupid polls....
It's also not cool to waste our time and database space with pointless and most of the time, unintelligable polls.
It was cute the 1st time, now it's just annoying.
I would have helped in the 1st place if you hadnt had to put another DA poll attached to your question.

Like Hardy said, make sure you downloaded and installed the windows version of mysql (easy to do, if it's not the windows version, no way to install it)

The mysql program you download from www.mysql.com is an exe file, you just need to double click on it from where you saved it at on your hard-drive, and it will install itself.

After installing mysql,
Copy the db.sql file to the C:\mysql\bin directory,
this means, open click on 'my computer' on the desktop, click on 'mysql', then click on 'bin' and drop the db.sql file in there.

Then, go to the run menu item on the start button, type 'cmd', then 'cd c:\mysql\bin' , then 'mysql' , then when you are in mysql type 'source mysql;'

thats it.

Thats just it! th myysql file keeps asking me what i want to use to open it

If your going to spam with polls, do it in the off topic forum =P but dont spam either way hehe.

Scroll down till you see Windows Downloads, download the installation files

chocobo don't run the db file run the mysql executable. Hope I helped.

[Hardy]

he could just well be doing that, or he could have the wrong mySQL files, like he might have windows and he downloaded the linux mySQL files :p
