i have done that

'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

there must be something else i'm missing...

This is not a MySQL issue. It's a PATH issue.


Either set your PATH to include the directory where the MySQL
programs are located (likely C:\mysql\bin, though that depends on
your installation), or invoke mysql from within that directory,
or invoke mysql using its full pathname.

Setting your PATH is the best option, because then you can invoke
MySQL programs from within any directory and the command interpreter
will find them.

There is no problem. The server has started successfully.


But you need to *connect* to the server using a client program.
Try running mysql from the C prompt, for example:

C:\> mysql


i have installed MySql Database Server & Standard Clients (4.0)


and MySql Control Center

and I'm using Win2K OS...

As well...what specifically can I use MySql for? I have a website
that I'm trying to learn a lot of things through to make my resume
more beefy and to make myself more marketable...What do you all
suggest?
