Setting Up MySQL

When things are done practically, it tends to stay in mind. So before Proceeding further with SQL Injection, I thought Of Showing how to setup MySQL Server and Create A Database, and Play With it.

In this post, we will set up MySQL server, and get hands on it and feel MySQL Database.

Steps:

1. Download From HERE (Windows Users Download the MSI Installer)

2. Install It, The Process is very simple, You need to Follow the Instructions Properly.

3. Open a Command Prompt and type 'mysql', If you get error which says MySQL is not recognized as a valid statement. Means Either Installation was not successful or you might have to add the MySQL Directory to the Environment Variable.
[If you get any error with Installation, Leave a comment, with exact error code and the Operating system]

4.

D:\>mysql -u root -p
Enter password:    [Leave it Blank, and Press Enter]
