[ensembl-dev] Installing local copy of ensembl on WINDOWS!

[Stefan Kirov]

Are you logging in using the same privileges with the 
command line and mysql query browser? I can see the table 
content in mysql query browser just fine.
If you see it in command line, then it is there and there is 
something wrong with your query browser or the way you 
login. Also mysql browser provides some status info at the 
bottom- did you get "Query finished" or some other message 
or it just hangs?
As Andreas pointed out \N is null. I don't think you need to 
specify record separator, actually this is your problem when 
trying to load the second time.
My 2c- do it with linux. Could have some initial learning 
curve, but will payoff later.
Good luck!
Stefan
