I have mySQL 5.1 installed on a Windows Vista machine. I'm really curious as to where the file lives that holds the databases I created. I'm assuming it's in the mySQL install directory but I just don't know where (C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.1\?). Does anyone know?

Jump to PostAll the directories will be in data folder under mysql directory. If you have installed WAMP, for example, the databases will be in c:\wamp\mysql\data :) Look for data directory.

Most probably, you installed mysql separately. But as always, It will be inside the data directory :)
