hi, I am having problems with mysql. 1. I downloaded mysql on to my system. 2.installed it 3. ran the server using the command prompt C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --console it gave me the results that i could start using the service. 4. i started mysql on another command prompt.
what i am trying to do is i have to enter a huge genome sequence into a field. In order to do tht i have to change the global and session variables in mysql. i can change the session variables but i am not able to change the global variables. I gave the command: set global max_allowed_packet=400000000; it said: Access denied. You need the SUPER privilege for this operation. Then i created a database genome_db . then at the command promp i typed >grant all privileges on genome_db.* to root@"localhost" identified by ' '; i got the result as: Access denied for user: @'localhost' to database 'genome_db' dont know what to do:( confused!!!! plzzz help!!!!
