Setting up a Windows 7 MySQL database

The VWorks labware inventory management feature requires a MySQL database. This section describes how to install and configure a MySQL 5.1 database for the Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

Note: The database may be configured already if the computer was provided by Agilent Technologies and your system contains a device that requires a database, such as a Labware MiniHub.

The topics are:

•	Installing and setting up MySQL 5.1

•	About uninstalling MySQL

If you are running the VWorks software on the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, see Setting up a Windows 10 MySQL database.

If you are running VWorks 13.1.7 and installing MySQL 8.0.18, see the VWorks Automation Control 13.1.7 Setup Guide Addendum .
