Creating/Selecting database for use with Players

After very first run of Players the window appears:

• Fill in server name (usually localhost if mySQL is running on the same machine).

• Select protocol (at the moment mysql is the only choice).
• Fill Port number, user ID (normally root) and password - those values was set during mySQL installation.
• Select language for use with your PC - this can be
  • latin1 for western european languages
  • cp1250 for eastern european languages
  • cp1257 for baltic languages
  • ascii for pure english, no accented letters
• Select the appropriate collation, the way of comparing strings in your language.
• Enter the name for your database and mark create checkbox...
• ...or after filling connection details click on button to select existing database. All databases will be listed below, those with Players info will be available under "Database name" dropdown list.
• Finally click OK button.

NOTE: the same window will appear if you select Database/Connect from menu or if you select Database/Disconnect, close Players and run the program again.
