building mysql database

[dreamer]

I have the very very basic skills with mysql. VERY BASIC!

I want to creat mysql database however, when i used the software from "mysql.com" i was just lost. Is there a program which is more simple and graphical? I don;t like the program from "mysql" because its dos. I like to have a graphical interaction, like dreamweaver.

any tips? also any site on building mysql aplliacations will really be a big help! I am very dumb when it comes to mysql so like sites for dunnies will be helpful.
:pleased:

i must use mysql so please don;'t success something else.

ALSO, i want to create a database where a vivstor can upload a image, video, or music file, then how do you store that into the database? ALSO i don't want to see it while i look through the database, instead i want a link where i can then download it to my computer. Any tutorials on something like this would really help.

umm if you guys have any templates or old mysql work please send them to me cause it would really help me out!

i am going to create a batabase driven web portal (designers' hub) you may know it. Before it was like flash and codes WITH NO DATABASE! thats right it was hell to update! IF you guys have any suggestions or tips please tell me.

THANKS ALOT! you kirupa guys are the best!

you could try phpmyadmin. That is a very popular program for maintaining databases.

i c. how about constructing them on your computer? do you know some sort of mysql cilent for free? also how do you test out mysql databases on your computer?

well you have to get your computer set up as a server, then you can run phpmyadmin on it, and create database driven sites.
Installing php, mysql, and apache on your own computer is pretty easy. Do a search, I'm sure there's been a ton of posts about it.

try to search for Phptriad... phptriad installs: Apache, Php, MySQL and phpmyadmin in one click... i've been using it for developing scripts on my PC...

mysql has recently come out with a mysql graphical application called Mysql Administrator, that should be exactly what you're looking for
