running mysql_install_db on windows
-
Hi I installed MySQL 4.0.16 on windows. the manual says I should run mysql_install_db to initialize the mysql database containing the grant tables. now in the scripts folder there are : mysql_install_db and mysql_install_db.sh files.. both are not executables as you see.. now what should I install to run these scripts ? is it Perl or what ?

I believe that instruction is for linux. Those db's should already be installed. Look for section 2.4.1 in the manual. michanne
thank you.. If it's ment by (grant tables) the MySQL DB and it's tables (user,db,...) then maybe you are right..they were installed automatically.. but in this case why are these scripts included with the binaries ?

Most likely, whoever did the packaging is more familiar with the Linux distro than the Win32 distro, and didn't know which pieces did and didn't need to be in the Win32 distro, so they were all thrown in.
