need a tutorial

Post by gavinbsocom »

I have tried a tatorial, and i am reading a book called sql in a nut shell by o'reilly, I downloaded the latest version of mysql although i have no idea what to do with it. I have tried following this one tatorial and i couldnt get the command prompt to do anything. Its a diaster,t hats all i can say. So if anyone has a good place to start, as far as a real step by step tatorial for begginers, that would be great, I'm searching web but yetno luck.

Have you installed MySQL? If you follow the installation instructions step by step it shouldn't cause major difficulties:
