Mysql 5 - help not found

Post by raghavan20 »

I have recently upgraded to mysql 5 but I find there is no help file...Is there is anyway to download those files into the install directory?

Code: Select all

mysql> help contents;

Nothing found
Please try to run 'help contents' for a list of all accessible topics

mysql> help select;

Nothing found

mysql> help show;

You wanted a help file, and there it is. There's all you need to know in it.
Personally, I find the web version a lot more useful and easier to search.

You might find more information here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

As to installing those files, I don't have a clue.

Hmm... Odd.. They've always just been there when I've installed it. Never installed on windows though. No idea, I'd try a simple database backup, server reinstall.
