(RADIATOR) MySQL in Windows

[Mary Grace]

Hi Hugh!

OK, here is an even more needy newbie to MySQL question :-(

I am sure this is the last question you wanted posted to this list, which 
is so full of very knowledgeable people !!!

After following your answer to Jorge below, I am now even more not sure if 
I can be successful in converting our existing radiator installation, in 
operation for over a year, from a flat-file user file to a MySQL table, 
with a few useful canned queries to get user hours online each month, 
etc.  Since I don't know structured query language or MySQL very well, I am 
looking for a dead-simple step by step FAQ guide to converting my flat user 
file on a Win 2K machine running Active State PERL and MySQL over to a SQL 
user file.  By doing so, I hope to be able to figure out the right SQL 
stuff to give me the equivalent of those slick canned reports you see (like 
in Steel-Belted RADIUS and other products with built-in database functions) 
on per-user total time online in a month, and speed-of-connect each time, 
as well as called-number and calling-number, etc.

Is there ANYwhere that I can find a step by step guide that is not (to we 
window-clicking non-programmers) in such cryptic shorthand as your reply to 
Jorge?  I mastered the flat-file method by following your own installation 
guide for Win32.  But, you have no such equivalent guide for integrating 
your product with MySQL for we win32 users.

Shamefacedly, and totally dependent on your mercy and forbearance,

Sr. Mary Grace
