🔧 How to Install MySQL on Windows (Step-by-Step Guide) 🔧
In this video, I'll walk you through the process of installing MySQL on your Windows machine. We'll cover how to download the correct version, set up the installer, configure MySQL, and verify the installation using both the command line and a GUI tool. I'll also explain which version of MySQL you should use based on your needs, particularly focusing on the long-term support version (MySQL 8.4.2 LTS).
Key Takeaways:
- Version Selection: Why MySQL 8.4.2 LTS is recommended over version 8.0 and the upcoming MySQL 9.0.
- Installer Options: Choosing between Complete and Custom installations.
- Configuration: Setting up passwords, networking, and service names.
- Testing: Verifying the installation using MySQL 8.4 command line and introducing the HeidiSQL GUI as a stable alternative to MySQL Workbench.
Stay tuned as I'll also cover how to use sample databases like "world" and "sakila," which are great for testing and learning SQL commands.
