One of those products is Microsofts SQL Server Express, a free version of Microsoft’s SQL Server. The same methods can be used to install various MySQL products as well as alter existing configurations at a later point. While the community edition is GPL, I'm unsure if there would be a problem with the 'MySQL' name and the fact that Oracle owns it. The configuration process has many available options that are significantly easier to navigate by following the stages outlined in this article. I've been thinking about releasing a portable package for MySQL Workbench, but I'm concerned on licensing. Installing MySQL on a Windows server is simple when using the MySQL Installer tool. The system does not provide output as confirmation. The mysqladmin tool performs the shutdown command and fully stops the MySQL server. To shut down MySQL Server in Windows, type the following command in the Windows Command Prompt: "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown Omitting this option sends the output directly to the MySQL logs. The -console option displays output directly on your console. In case you have installed MySQL in a different folder, the command needs to reflect that to launch the mysqld executable file successfully. The path in this command is the default installation folder. If you need to start the MySQL Server on Windows for the first time enter the following command in the Windows Command Prompt: "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld" -console
