It seems like on linux machines, its super easy to access mysql console, you simply type mysql and you’re put into mysql console, where you can then type SELECT bla FROM foo and the query is executed, etc.
On windows however, it seems like you have to type C:\mysql\bin\bla-bla\something.exe each time.
Is there a way to, for example, make a .bat file that each time I open, it opens the command prompt with mysql console already selected?
Specifically this is about windows xp.
Add it to your PATH.
Control Panel > System > Environment Variables > Scroll down to Path under System Variables and click edit, then add the path to your mysql.exe.
