MySql on Windows XP

[Asher Golan]

Which '.exe' file should I run in order to start the MySql Server ?
How do I creat a new data base ?
I learnt how to access MySql using php commands, but dont know how to create
the database.
Is there any GUI manager to access records stored on the MySql server ?

You'll find that once installed, the MySQL service automatically starts
itself at startup.

Just fire up the "WinMySQLAd min" program, you can control the
server with that just fine.

In PHP: mysql_create_db (...):

http://be.php.net/mysql_create_db

Without PHP:
- see MySQL documentation, section 3.3, "Creating and Using a
Database": http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Database_use.html

- see below, with MySQLFront.

I have always been very fond of MySQL-Front:

http://www.mysqlfront.de/

MySQL itself has a program called "MySQL Control Center", but my
personal feeling is that MySQL-front is more mature and bug free.

A third option is to install, for instance, PHPMyAdmin on the
server machine itself to manage your MySQL server:
