Please help:
I want to make a new SQL database, to see if I can familiarize myself with SQL. I installed WorkBench on Windows XP OS. I want to follow the tutorial and make a small database. Now stupid me can't get past the first hurdle, which is the database connection. After testing the databse connection WorkBench reports:
Connecting to MySQL server localhost...
Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)
Some posts suggest there should be a MySQL server running. But this is only the first step in the tutorial. Where does this server come from? Or do I need to change the setings?
Best regards,
Frederic
