I'm getting the following result by attempting to load a database via
'mysql> source C:\Download\PHPexamples\winestore.data'. This is the
result:

ERROR:
Failed to open file 'C:\Download\PHPexamples\winestore.data', error: 2

Any thoughts?

TIA,
David

Error code 2 means the file does not exist.

Thanks Brian...I guess windows had failed to update the explorer window
I was looking at and showed the wrong directory name!

In any case, I've moved onto a new error:

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'david'@'127.0.0.1' to
database 'winestore'

FYI, I'm trying to set up MySQL on my machine so I can work with
examples in the O'Reilly book I'm reading. I don't recall any step in
the installation instructions where I had to authorize myself to access
the database.

Thoughts?

Thanks again for your quick responses!
David

Keep in mind that the MySQL accounts have nothing to do with operating
system logins or passwords that may exist on your system. MySQL
accounts are created when you grant privileges to them.

See the following doc pages for more information:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/user-names.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...rivileges.html

Bill,

Yes, I understand the distinction bw the OS id/pw and MySQL. I'm not
sure where I gave the impression that I didn't but sorry about that.

I've installed MySQL and configured it (see status listing below). I've
downloaded a database (winestore.data) which is currently at
C:\atmp\winestore.data.

I had added myself (successfully, it seemed) as a user via "GRANT
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, LOCK TABLES ON winestore.* TO
david@127.0.0.1 IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';". Attempting this now seems to
fail (ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user 'david'@'127.0.0.1' to
database 'winestore').

Any thought you might have re how I can get this database loaded would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

Sorry, I was making an assumption that you, like so many people, treat
MySQL accounts as the same as OS accounts. My mistake!

Well, your current user is david@localhost, whereas you granted
privileges to david@127.0.0.1. Those may not be considered the same as
far as MySQL's privilege tables know. They certainly should be treated
as equivalent, but apparently they aren't.

Also I'm not sure if it's relevant, but when I grant, I put quotes
around both the user and the hostname, for example:

GRANT ... TO 'david'@'localhost' ...

Hmmmmm, well, I attempted to grant priviledges using localhost but it's
still recognizing it as 127.0.0.1.

Okay, I just tried a grant similar to yours, and it worked fine.

Are you sure there aren't any other records in the db or user tables of
the mysql database corresponding to your 'david' identity? Another
entry may be taking priority.

Bill K.

maybe I should just uninstall EasyPHP and start over again.....

I didn't re-install; I just started my attempt this am. Re-reading the
instructions, it seems that I was supposed to start the session using
the root username rather than 'david'. Don't know why it would matter
but it seemed to work just fine under 'root'.

Thanks again for your help!

David
