MySQL Issues and Resolution

1. Run MySQL Database without installation on Windows

     Here is the ZIP file that I had downloaded: mysql-8.0.30-winx64.zip

     Here are the steps to start MySQL Server (mysql-8.0.30-winx64) for the first time on Windows:
  1. Create a new folder named "data" in MySQL installation directory (i.e. in the same location as where "bin" directory is located. For me it is: C:\programs\mysql-8.0.30-winx64. This location will vary as per the location where you have extracted the MySQL zip file)
  2. From here I will use my MySQL folder location as reference. Go to: C:\programs\mysql-8.0.30-winx64\bin and execute the command:
    mysqld --initialize-insecure
    or
    mysqld --initialize
    depending on whether you want the server to generate a random initial password for the 'root'@'localhost' account.
  3. To start the DB, go to: C:\programs\mysql-8.0.30-winx64\bin and execute
    mysqld --console
    You can see the start-up logs being printed.
  4. To connect to DB, go to: C:\programs\mysql-8.0.30-winx64\bin and execute
    mysql -u root -p
    When prompted, Enter password if it has been set or else just hit "Enter" button to connect
     These steps work on Windows 10 and Windows 7.
