 2.3.12 Testing The MySQL Installation
 -------------------------------------
 
 You can test whether the MySQL server is working by executing any of
 the following commands:
 
      C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqlshow"
      C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqlshow" -u root mysql
      C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysqladmin" version status proc
      C:\> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysql" test
 
 If `mysqld' is slow to respond to TCP/IP connections from client
 programs, there is probably a problem with your DNS. In this case,
 start `mysqld' with the -skip-name-resolve option and use only
 `localhost' and IP numbers in the `Host' column of the MySQL grant
 tables.
 
 You can force a MySQL client to use a named-pipe connection rather than
 TCP/IP by specifying the -pipe or -protocol=PIPE option, or by
 specifying `.' (period) as the host name. Use the -socket option to
 specify the name of the pipe if you do not want to use the default pipe
 name.
 
 Note that if you have set a password for the `root' account, deleted
 the anonymous account, or ceated a new user account, then you must use
 the appropriate -u and -p options with the commands shown above in
 order to connect with the MySQL Server.  See  connecting.
