where do you run database scripts/where are DBs 'located'?

[BartlebyScrivener]

Add the mysql db to your datasources using Administrative
Tools/Datasources(ODBC). Once that's done it's simple to access it,
using mxODBC.

 I'm assuing you are on Windows XP?

Here's mxODBC

and you'll need the MySql connector
