sql plus question
 
Hi !


I've installed sql plus from Oracle ( I guess ), with a simple
Code:
emerge  mysql
When I try to enter the command prompt in sql , using
Code:
mysql
command I get the following error:
Code:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
does anyone know what does this mean ?
Or how could I fix this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

mysql command runs only client for MySQL server. You need to run MySQL daemon first!

but before that I run:

Code:
  /etc/init.d/mysqld start
so that sql server is up.
Other suggestions ?
