Hello
I would like to learn how to start using MySQL.
I installed it locally on my Windows machine and I am reading the tutorial documentation that comes with it.
The tutorial says that in order to connect to MySQL I should use the following command:
mysql -h host -u user -p
Since I am running locally, I am assuming that I can skip the host part.
The problem is that I don't have a username and password yet. I just installed it.
How can I create one for me?
I read somewhere that I can connect as root. What does it mean?
I would like to create myself an acount with username and password so I could start working.
How does that relate to the grant command that I keep hearing?
please help
David
