[Zope] Newbie _still_ unable MySQL connection string on NT

[David Robson]

Jens Vagelpohl and Tony McDonald kindly contributed
the correct answer to my connection string question.
Tony summarized it as…

>> MySQL@SERV3 UserName UserPW

> this should work if the database you 
> want to use is called MySQL 

Apparently I have a deeper problem. At the very least
I’m foundering in terminology. Is this matrix correct
re database terms?


Item                          Correct term        
Commonly-used term

Database application           MySQL              
database

Data file                      MyFileName         
database

Table                          MyTableName        
table




So…I should use a connection string like the
following, right?
MyFileName@SERV3 UserName UserPW

But, working remotely, I haven’t created a database
file so MyFileName doesn’t exist and, of course Z SQL
Method won’t permit creating a database file or table
without a connection. I’m missing something basic
here.

I tried connecting to an existing sample MySQL file  
function.tst  with no luck.

Also:

Should the path be represented in the db filename…as:
   C:\mysql\examples\tests\function.tst@SERV3 UserName
UserPW

MySQL is running as an NT Service. Must I additionally
activate a MySQL Server on port 3306?


Confused in NTland…
