Where to work with MySQL

[kupe]

Excuse, please, a very basic question. With xampp now very happily - and gratefully installed (it looks brilliant) - I wonder where I work with MySQL.

In the xampp folder, I start MySQL with mysql_start. The command prompt flashes on and off.

So do I then call up the command prompt just normally and change directories till I get to MySQL, please?

Do you mean the administration tool for MySQL? Its phpMyAdmin and also comes with XAMPP.

Try http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser.

Hi Elko

Do you mean you do your mysql work in phpmyadmin? Queries, create tables, alters and the like, instead of in the command prompt?
