Any MySQL Folks Here

I downloaded it for the first time last night. Here's a little background:

I have a few years of "hobbyist" type experience with VB development, with SOME experience with making front-ends for Access dbs, although I've been away from development for quite some time. I decided to check out MySQL as I've heard good things about it. I installed the "Essentials" community version of the program on my P4 512mb RAM Dell machine last night (WinXP Home, SP2), ran the config, started the instance, and downloaded the admin gui. For some reason, I CAN'T connect to the db via the GUI. It will ping the host, however it just will not connect. Any thoughts?

i use it MySQL for some of my projects but ive never used the gui for it so i dont know. i know from connecting to it from programs i write you need to set proper permissions for the user. the manual (downloadable) has instructions on how to do this and a google search would probably turn up some useful results...but i cant say if thats even the problem.

What do you use as your front-end? I was thinking of getting back into VB, but I'd have to use .NET and I'm not sure how well it works.

Well im using .NET now myself (currently C#) and I have no problems (well i do but its cause im still running the 2002 version it would be better with the 2003 or 2005 version)

when i use databases i pretty much write my own front end cause its not something that an admin consol is needed, its usually just insert, selects, updates, and deletes. most of my projects that use MySQL are actually done in Perl, either a windows type gui or a web based cgi script.

Just visited your sites. Very nicely done, I must say.

My development experience is in client/server, but I'm eager to get into the web stuff. Hopefully I can make the leap.

And I have problem, because my coder prepared stuff that works properly only with MySQL v4.1.x or higher, while my website host gives only v4.0.21. Higher version may be added as an option - paid one, of course So we have to rewrite the code *sigh*
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

how much could have changed that its not compatible one (minor) version back

thats why you should always know what your programing for...me, i get to decide what version we'll be using for apps so its all good

it shouldnt require a full rewrite though, could probably just modify some parts. any SQL statements should be the same (unless they added support for new commands in 4.1 from 4.0. its probably most likely the connection method. is this for a business site or your own personal site?
