You must exercise great care when editing your systemPATH by hand; accidental deletion or modification of any portion of the existingPATH value can leave you with a malfunctioning or even unusable system.
To make it easier to invoke MySQL programs, you can add the path name of the MySQLbin directory to your Windows systemPATH environment variable:
On the Windows desktop, right-click theMy Computer icon, and selectProperties.
Next select theAdvanced tab from theSystem Properties menu that appears, and click theEnvironment Variables button.
UnderSystem Variables, selectPath, and then click theEdit button. TheEdit System Variable dialogue should appear.
Place your cursor at the end of the text appearing in the space markedVariable Value. (Use theEnd key to ensure that your cursor is positioned at the very end of the text in this space.) Then enter the complete path name of your MySQL
bindirectory (for example,C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.4\bin)NoteThere must be a semicolon separating this path from any values present in this field.
Dismiss this dialogue, and each dialogue in turn, by clickingOK until all of the dialogues that were opened have been dismissed. The new
PATHvalue should now be available to any new command shell you open, allowing you to invoke any MySQL executable program by typing its name at the DOS prompt from any directory on the system, without having to supply the path. This includes the servers, themysql client, and all MySQL command-line utilities such asmysqladmin andmysqldump.
You should not add the MySQLbin directory to your WindowsPATH if you are running multiple MySQL servers on the same machine.
