myquote2.tcl

[darkrad]

hello, i installed mysql 5.0 and mysqltcl. Now what should i do to get the tcl working? i can't get the point of:

Code: Select all

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Install
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# - import mysql-dump "myquote.sql"
# - change the database-settings below

where should i do import mysql-dump "myquote.sql" ?
where are the database-settings below? the ones in myquote.tcl? which user/pass and database name i have to specify? do i need to create a new mysql user and db? How? Thanks in advance

where should i do import mysql-dump "myquote.sql" ?

on the command line

where are the database-settings below? the ones in myquote.tcl?

most likely

which user/pass and database name i have to specify?

yours

do i need to create a new mysql user and db?

yes, if you don't have one already

How?

by using basic mySQL commands which you need to learn

[darkrad]

doing the import thing turn my mouse cursor into a cross and wait... when i click anything it makes 2 sounds and then return to prompt..
it does make any sense?

[demond]

you don't deal with these things with mouse clicks

you need to get a clue by RTFM (Reading The F*cking Manual) - that means learning mySQL basics - so go to mysql.com and start studying until you know what a relational database is, how to create it, how to register with it, and how to operate it; I know that's much harder than clicking with the mouse, but if you are not willing to do it, you shouldn't be here anyway

i just said what happen sending that command in a shell console. it seems hanging and the cursor mouse change.

[darkrad]

if i do that from shell:

Code: Select all

xxx@ubuntu:~/xxx$ import mysql-dump "myquote.sql"
import: unable to open X server `'.
xxx@ubuntu:~/xxx$

$ use databadename
$ mysqldump source /your/source/fule.sql

you could also open the sql file and put it in db with phpmyadmin

if you need phpmyadmin
$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
