installing and using SQL ? in Suse Enterprise 9
 

hello..
I've installed MySql on Suse Enterprise 9 using Yast......but i've no idea how to run and use it! ... i tried searching net and tried a lot of cmds ....when i check whether it has been installed or not by rpm -q mysql mysql-server mysqlclient9.....it says it has not been installed.....and for installing ..i cant find the rpm file.....Please let me know how to run and use it..
Regards.

To run MySQL on a system you need both the server and the client software installed and running. For SuSE, you should have the following packages installed in YAST:

mysql
and
mysql-client

There are additional packages you can/should install as well...

i've installed both ..but yet no help...

You can find all required information on running it from commandline at http://dev.mysql.com/.

If you're new to Linux and/or MySQL I would recommend the use of Webmin. This program enables you to administer a lot of nifty stuff using your favourite webbrowser.

For example you can administer MySQL and Apache through Webmin. A great way to get to know those programs quickly, without all the hassle of command line commands.

Good luck.
