Installing MYSQL on windows xp
Visited 233 times, 1 so far today
I am taking the course “Advanced Databases and Datawarehousing” this semester. As a part of the course, i am supposed to work with either oracle or MYSQL or any other equivalent db.
Instead of working in the labs at the campus ( well, i need to apply and get a valid login from the IT guy at UofL, then take time out of my 20 hours/week schedule, plus swimming , plus taking care of my new kitty, plus hello its snowing, how the deuce do you expect me to go to campus.. and yeah, did i mention i DONT have a car?), i would rather take time to install one that i like on my super hot laptop!
I need to post more pics of my laptop and my kitty .. uh well. so here the first step towards installation of MYSQL.
step1: Choose which db software you want to install. I chose MYSQL because, well i played with Oracle 7.3 when i was a kid(well, 4 years ago i was a kid).
Step2: google “MYSQL APACHE PHP all in one installation”. Well, what do you know, the first of the results leads to XAMPP. OFCOURSE!!
Step3: INSTALL XAMPP
Step4: Need to post more on followups!
ADIOS!
