25.6. Instructions for Setting Up a MySQL User Account
For the MySQL examples to execute correctly, you need to set up a user account that allows users to create, delete and modify a database. After MySQL is installed, follow the steps below to set up a user account (these steps assume MySQL is installed in its default installation directory):
1. | Open a Command Prompt and start the database server by executing the command mysqld-nt.exe. Note that this command has no output—it simply starts the MySQL server. Do not close this window—doing so terminates the server.
|
2. | Next, you’ll start the MySQL monitor so you can set up a user account, open another Command Prompt and execute the command
mysql -h localhost -u root |
