I recently wrote a WinForm application and wanted to use MySQL. I checked the information on the Internet, and now I summarize:
- MySQL download
- Open https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ official website, select MySQL Community Server , select Windows (x86, 64-bit) at the bottom of the page , download after ZIP Archive , here according to your own computer system , mine is x64 bit.
- On the download page, click No thanks, just start my download. You can download without login.
- MySQL configuration
- Unzip the installation package, here I unzip it to D:\MySQL, the directory is as follows:
- Create my.txt in a directory at the same level as bin. The last line of password-free login is critical. For MySQL 5.6 and above, a random ROOT password will be generated during installation. Skip-grant-tables can log in to ROOT for the first time without using a password. Related The configuration is as follows:
- Modify my.txt to my.ini configuration file.
- Press the Windows key to enter cmd, run the command line as an administrator, find the MySQL installation directory on the command line, enter the bin directory, install the mysql service: mysqld install mysql, start the mysql service: net start mysql, use the user name ROOT password is empty Log in to mysql: mysql -uroot -p, Enter password: do not enter, press Enter, and see mysql> successful login.
5.
Use mysql database: use mysql, modify the ROOT account password to ROOT: update user set authentication_string=password("root") where user="root";, refresh privileges: flush privileges;, exit: exit;,
log in again: mysql -uroot -p, Enter password: Enter root, press Enter, and see mysql> again. Here, the mysql configuration and modification of the ROOT password are all completed. (emphasis added that after MySQL 5.7, the password field was renamed authentication_string)
