You can test whether the MySQL server is working by executing any of the following commands:
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqlshow -u root mysql C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin version status proc C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysql test |
If mysqld
is slow to respond to TCP/IP connections from client programs
on Windows 9x/Me, there is
probably a problem with your DNS. In this case, start mysqld
with the
--skip-name-resolve
option and use only localhost
and IP
numbers in the Host
column of the MySQL grant tables.
You can force a MySQL client to use a named pipe connection rather than TCP/IP
by specifying the
--pipe
option or by specifying .
(period) as the host
name. Use the --socket
option to specify the name of the
pipe. In MySQL 4.1, you should use the --protocol=PIPE
option.
There are two versions of the MySQL command-line tool:
Binary | Description |
mysql | Compiled on native Windows, offering limited text editing capabilities. |
mysqlc | Compiled with the Cygnus GNU compiler and libraries, which offers readline editing. |
If you want to use mysqlc
, you must have a copy of the
`cygwinb19.dll' library installed somewhere that mysqlc
can find it. Current distributions of MySQL include this library
in the same directory as mysqlc
(the `bin' directory
under the base directory of your MySQL installation). If your
distribution does not have the cygwinb19.dll
library in the
`bin' directory, look for it in the lib
directory and
copy it to your Windows system directory
(`\Windows\system' or similar place).
