Mysql but no mysql front

Rails
1

i’m a newbie and i’ve just downloaded instantrails
all the tutorials seem to expect mysql front but since it is no longer
part of the package and mysql isn’t installed in the conventional way
how do i get into mysql to set up tables etc without going through ruby
on rails but directly into mysql

You can use the ruby console from within Instant rails. Click on the
“I” go to “rails applications” to “ruby console”. From there its just a
console, so you can do normal console things.

Hope that helps -K

thank you
i was playing with the app and found phpmyadmin (DOH) which is more
pleasant than the bloody horrible windows shell. This is the most
command line i’ve ever done on windows and the shell is horrible and
makes me appreciate linux (which i only occasionally use) rather more -
which, as i’m sure u know, has a very nice command line and a choice of
shells.
cheers
