WinMysqladmin

[jormajansson]

Hi and greetings form Finland.

I installed mysql to WINNT server and i have problem to create database. According to manual, it should be possible to creata databases by winmysqladmin-software.

But when I try to create a new database using the admin tool the
only options I receive are:
Flush Hosts
Flush Logs
Flush Tables
Flush Threads

Anyone know why I do not get the options to
Create Database
Drop Database
Refresh Database

with very special thanks

As far as I'm aware, Winmysqladmin.exe is only for administering your access to your version of MySQL, i.e. version selection, platform settings, ini-file content, account details etc. It's not a GUI for programming in MySQL. You have two options: the command line, which is a good way of learning MySQL, or various front-ends such as PHPMyAdmin. If you're just starting out, I recommend using the command line to get used to how MySQL actually works (command line is another word for DOS prompt: start\programs\DOS prompt on Windows).

Best o luck
