Notes The winMy SQLadmin.exe application is a great friend to Windows users who are just getting
started with My SQL. If you double-click this file, it will start the My SQL server and place a
stoplight icon in your taskbar.
When the interface launches, you will see an application that provides an easy way to maintain
and monitor your new server (see Figure 1.12).

WinMy SQLadmin will automatically interpret environment information, such as IP address
and machine name. The tabs across the top allow you to view system information and edit My
SQL configuration options.
For example, if you select the Variables tab, as shown in Figure 1.13, you can also view server
configuration information. This information is similar to the output of the My SQL SHOW
VARIABLES command.
