Adding A Database to MYSQL

Aspiration · 2007-01-28 21:33:13

Currently using MYSQL 4.1 in college. I've the server installed and configured and it's up and running. The only problem now is actually getting the database into the server. Any suggestions on where I should start?? I have the tables in a .txt file that my lecturer suggested we keep in the c drive but i dont have a clue…

Has your lecturer told you how to insert these data into a database? Have you asked him/her how to do it?

This is where I go any time I need info about MySQL.

Do you know SQL?

If you have your database set up as a series of SQL commands in the text file, rename it to whatever.sql and use the SOURCE command to upload it into the database, like as described in this tutorial.
