Hi everyone,
This is my first time in, so I hope someone can help me.
I am using an Apple Mac running OSX10.4. I am trying to connect to a sql database file which is sitting on the desktop, named travel_rocks_sql.txt. When I go into the Terminal to install mysql and the database, I am running into problems. You have to understand, I am a novice. I have typed in the following:

cd /usr/local/mysql
sudo chown -R mysql data/
password
sudo echo
./bin/mysqld_safe &
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql test

echo PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:
PATH
~/.bin_profile

I have saved this, then closed it, then reopned it.

To install the database which is on the desktop, I have wrote the following:

cat ~/Desktop/travel_rocks_sql.txt
This runs the database and shows lots of code ending in dump complted. I then type
mysql -u root -p

I get a message saying -bash: mysql: command not found

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Neil
