MYSQL not letting me create db??

[The Omega Soldier]

The proper way to create a database in mysql:

1. Go to start, run, type cmd
2. when you're in the command prompt, type cd c:\mysql\bin (or whatever directory your mysql\bin is in)
3. type mysql
4. it should give you a welcome message and some other info, type create database eq;
use eq;
source db.sql(assuming you have extracted all the world data into your mysql/bin folder)
source reloaddb.sql;
it should scroll for a while, if you get a bunch of error messages you may have to go to www.edwardpinniger.bctalk.net and get the eqnpc program which converts .txt to .sql files used by the mysql database and replace the world data in your mysql/bin folder with the data from this program. It also helps if you have the latest mysql version (4 i believe) and the latest world data (same website as above, i think it's version 1) if you run into any probs let me know
