Hi, There are two ways in which you can set up the database for the tutorials. >From the command line you can bring up the mysql prompt as follows: C:\>cd mysql\bin C:\mysql\bin>mysql --user=root--password=<your root password> You will then see the following: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 22 to server version: 3.23.51-max-nt Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> >From this prompt you can write SQL statements. Thus the first thing you should type is: mysql> create database music; which will create your new 'music' database. To get the table structure and data into this database type: mysql> use music which returns: Database changed then type: mysql> source [full path to .sql file]database\music.sql This will create the tables and enter the data for the two tables used in the tutorials. Alternatively you can use a product called mysqlfront which is available to download from http://efux.de/mysqlfront/MySQL-Front_2.5_Setup.exe This is a front end client which is a lot more user friendly than using the command prompt. It makes setting up and maintaining databases a lot easier. It also has a SQL Query window which would allow you to paste in the sql statements contained in music.sql Once the database has been set up you will need to set up an ODBC connection and instructions on how to do this are contained in the tutorial. If you have any further issues please do not hesitate to contact me.
