MySQL under Win32 is a little weird and takes after it's Unix heritage quite a bit, so I can understand the confusion.

Here are the basic steps to get started:


  1. Get the Win32 installer from: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html[^]. The download is a zip file; just unzip the contents into a new directory.
  2. Run setup.exe from the unzipped directory. I just accepted the default install path of C:\mysql and used the "Typical" install.
  3. After the installation, you should have a C:\mysql\bin directory with all the programs associated with MySQL. The easiest way to get started is just to run the winmysqladmin tool.
  4. Right after starting, winmysqladmin will ask you to create a new user, then will launch the main interface, which will promptly minimize itself to the system tray (!!). To show the interface again, right-click on the icon and select "Show Me".
  5. When WinMySQLAdmin is started, it will automatically start up the MySQL service. You can stop and start the service from the WinMySQLAdmin system tray icon.
  6. Once the service is started, you can work with the database using mysql.exe and mysqladmin.exe, which are command-line tools that act just like their Unix counterparts. mysqladmin.exe is used for creating and dropping (deleting) databases, changing passwords, and doing other interesting things to the server. mysql.exe provides a console interface for executing SQL commands.


On install, MySQL provides an empty database called test which you can use as a sandbox for trying out things. To switch to using this database, run mysql.exe (the initial install has no root password, so it should just connect and run) and type use test at the console. Now you're ready to start learning SQL Wink | ;)
