Orange Whip Studios MySQL Import File
=====================================

The applications created in "ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit" are built around a fictional company named "Orange Whip Studios". The sample data files (provided on the CD-ROM) are Microsoft Access MDB files.

The examples and lessons will work with any database supported by ColdFusion MX, including MySQL. The enclosed sql file contains the MySQL statements needed to create the "ows" database, define the twelve tables, and then populate them with all the example data. Once the script has been executed and the datasource defined in the ColdFusion Administrator, all the code, instructions, and examples will work exactly as they appear in the book.

The simplest way to use the script is via the command line mysql utility. Run mysql, and then use the source option (\.) to execute the entire file in one step. For example, if the owsmysql.sql file is in folder /download/ you would use the mysql command:
   \. /download/owsmysql.sql

Refer to the MySQL documentation for help if needed.
