phpMyAdmin is part of the WAMP bundle. There is no need to instal it separately. Once WAMP server is running, it just sits and listens on Port 80 on your localhost (127.0.0.1) ready to server up pages. Just open a browser window and type in "localhost" - you should see the WAMP configuration page with a link to phpMyAdmin. Alternatively, you should also see phpMyAdmin as one of items under the WAMP icon in your taskbar. Clicking on it opens a browser window pointing to the same link. Once your browser is pointing at localhost/phpmyadmin, you don't need to know anything about PHP or web servers, you just get a simple interface which lets you enter the name of a database and click "Create", followed by another screen which lets you add a table with fields which you define in the much the same way that as you would in SQL Server Management Studio. A row of buttons along the top of the browser window lets you select databases, modify them, run SQL commands, import/export data etc, etc. With your knowledge of SQL Server, it should only take a couple of minutes to get the hang of it. -- Stuart On 18 Sep 2011 at 23:17, jwcolby wrote: > LOL.
