My Sql database does not start

[Nigo]

can any of you guys tell me the download link for my sql database for windows 10 64x and tell me why does it not start it just blinks for a second and closes and afterwards it does not even blink

Which type of SQL database are you talking about? Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB, MySQL, …?

 

An what exactly do you mean by blinking? The cursor at the command prompt, or what? Because normally that's a background service, not something that runs interactively in the foreground.

As I said, this is normally a background service, not something you run at the command prompt. What command prompt link are you using and which command did you enter?

 

Normally you install MySQL, start its service and then use something like MySQL Workbench to connect to it to create databases and so on. You can manage databases from the command prompt, but that's not as easy as using a GUI tool.

i think mysql command client something

well can you send me the link for mysql database for windows 10 64x

Easier just to install it with XAMPP in windows.

I'd suggest downloading MariaDB, which is the open source version of MySQL, same thing : https://downloads.mariadb.org/

 

Normally, you configure it as a service in Windows. 

if you want to use the command line tools to create users or import databases, then you open a command prompt and go to the folder where the command line tools are and then run your commands.  

 

I'd also suggest HeidiSQL : https://www.heidisql.com/

It's a free application that allows you to manage users, databases, create databases and tables and indexes, import and export data, run queries, all in a nice interface, less hassle with command line.

I'm a bit confused, on the one hand you're saying you're using the command line client, which would mean you have MySQL installed already, on the other hand you're asking for a download link. Do you already have it installed or not?

 

The command line client is used to connect to an existing database on a previously installed database server, it is not used to install MySQL. In any case, you can find the downloads for MySQL here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/

 

(edit: Don't be fooled that is says 32 bit. The installer is 32 bit, but it does install the 64 bit version… )

 

If you haven't installed it already, I'd second @mariushm's recommendation of using MariaDB instead. While both of them are (or have) open source versions, the advantage of MariaDB is that it does not come with any Oracle strings attached. It is compatible to MySQL in terms of API.
