In the package is both standalone, command line and service all commands should be run from c:\mysql\bin

standalone server mysqld-nt --standalone

run mysqld until window is closed or CTRL+C mysqld-nt

install mysql as a network service mysqld-nt --install

mysqld-nt is only the "engine"

this will not provide a way to interact with the db

to interact use mysql monitor which is invoked by typing (at the command line mysql

I have donwloaded MySQL Server and Client 3.23.54win and I need help (step-by-step) as I can't figure it out from the manaul instructions. I am using Windows XP and know nothing about MySQL but want to learn it. My questions are as follows:

1. How do I know if I downloaded it as Standalone or Service?

2. I have unzipped the files and they are in my "C" drive and I have run the installation. I don't know what to do next.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.
