To verify if MySQL is operational on a Windows system, there are several approaches you can take. One method involves utilizing the Windows Task Manager or the MySQL command-line interface.
The Windows Task Manager provides a comprehensive view of running processes and services. To access it, press “Ctrl + Shift + Esc” and navigate to the “Services” tab. Here, search for “MySQL” or “mysqld”. If the service is running, its status will be displayed as “Running”.
