Starting MySQL
Thursday, October 16, 2008 by rain
Before starting the MySQL client make sure the server is turned on. If you run Windows 9x start the mysqld.exe or if you run Windows 2000/XP run the mysqld-nt.exe
The --console option tells mysqld-nt not to remove the console window. if you are running Windows NT/2000/XP it's better to install MySQL as a service. That way mysql server will be automatically started when you start Windows.
