Loading your data from a file. ( for windows )

mysql> source ‘enter file name with including path’ ;

eg: mysql> source d:/world.sql ; ( use forwards slash )

Or just do: mysql_show -u yourusername -p

Hi lady,

I suppose you are using …. Linux? or Windows? if you are using Windows, just go to your control panel and check in “Add/Remove Programs” if you see something like “mysql”. Also you can check in services under Administrative tools.
Now, if you are in Linux,
type “mysql” and then press “TAB” twice and you will see a list of commands like:

mysql mysqlimport
mysqlaccess mysql_install_db
mysqladmin mysqlmanager
…

then mysql is installed. To know if it is running:

nmap localhost

and you will see a “3306/tcp open mysql”.

Also, if you copy+paste some codes or example from web pages remember that sometimes the quotation mark is changed (looks similar but they are not)

I hope this is helpful

you can use the -e option to execute some queries on the command line, EG, to list databases:
mysql -e “show databases” -u -p
