MySQL Monitor??

[ackerley1]

I am working through the book "Learn php, apache and mysql in 24hours" and I have gotten the part for mysql. It says that I should be able to enter these things into the mysql monitor. What is that. I have the traffic light icon on my task bar, but it doesn't seem to have the option to input code there.

Any suggestions. And quick and easy tutorials?

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

Try downloading the MySql Control Center (http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysqlcc.html) and from there you can directly create table easily.

Hope this helps

you can usually enter code from a command prompt.

You can also install phpMyAdmin which will allow you to enter sql queries.

www.phpmyadmin.net very useful tool

Hi Rob

MySQLFront it isn't really monitor but, you can try it free software.

at www.sitepoint.com, there are two well written books that takes you step by step through everything. CSS for Tables and Database Driven Websites using PHP and MYSQL.

I also use MySQLFront to manage my databases. It's a great tool. You can put in custom queries, edit data, filter results, alter tables, manage users and permissions, export and copy tables and databases, etc... It's only downfall is that it's a dead project now, so no more releases are being developed. However, it's still a great program at it's current/final release. I've been using it for a couple years.
