(二)在Windows2000下的安装
1。安装时选默认目录：c:mysql
2。把c:mysqlmy-example.cnf copy为c:my.cnf，并把c:mysqlibgwinb19.dll copy到winntsystem32。
3。启动mysql的方法是：
c:mysqlinmysqld-shareware --install
net start mysql
这么简单，就可以启动了。
4。更改超级用户(root)的密码：
C:mysqlinmysql mysql
mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('your password')swheresuser='root';
mysql> QUIT
C:mysqlinmysqladmin reload
使用命令C:mysqlinmysqlshow去看看检测一下。在这里应该显示：
+-----------+
| Databases |
+-----------+
| mysql |
| test |
+-----------+
看到这些信息这一步就证明没问题了
再来:
C:mysqlinmysqlshow --user=root --password=your password mysql
在这里应该显示：
Database: mysql
+--------------+
| Tables |
+--------------+
| columns_priv |
| db |
| host |
| tables_priv |
| user |
+--------------+
一切搞定！
5。C:mysqlinmysqladmin version status proc
应该可以看到这些版本信息的：
mysqladmin Ver 8.0 Distrib 3.22.32, for Win95/Win98 on i586
TCX
Server version 3.22.32-shareware-debug
Protocol version 10
Connection localhost via TCP/IP

+----+------+-----------+----+---------+------+-------+------------------+
接着，用show databases命令可以将安装的数据库列出来：
mysql> show databases;
你就可以看到：
+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| mysql |
| test |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
如果一切正常的话，那说明MySQL可以完全工作了!如果要退出程序，输入：exit
mysql> exit;
Bye
