I cannot see how to get any to load. I have a test mySQL database and mySQL server is running on my PC. I can connect to it from the command line as a normal linux user and can do SQL commands ( eg show tables etc ) but cannot connect thru Squirrel. As I said, this is my first time using Squirrel and all of the FAQ/Help searches lead to dead ends. Nothing seems to actually change anything. Heeeeeeeeelp please Norm |
