MariaDB on Windows - help with startup?

Question

I am trying to learn MariaDB (v5.2.4), but I am having some problems. I can download and install it, but it doesn’t seem to work or I am missing something.

I am looking for a good resource for a 1st timer running on Windows.

A few specific questions:

• Is MySQL required to run? It seems that the installation assistance is related to updating MySQL, but I want to start a new job.

• Is there a management tool for the database (e.g. SQL Server Management Studio)? If not, what do people usually use?

Answer 4

I used SQLyog as a GUI for MariaDB. A free version can be downloaded from here: https://code.google.com/p/sqlyog/wiki/Downloads . Navicat also has a version of Mariadb that is being paid.

When the Google code crashes, you can download the latest version of SQLyog Community → https://github.com/webyog/sqlyog-community/wiki/Downloads .
