PeterJ, Thanks for your quick replies. Here are the details that you wanted: Which storage engine are you using, MyISAM or InnoDB? What character set are you using? - I use MySQL 5.0.24a-community-nt - default-character-set=latin1 Also, I suggest you use an account other than "root" for the database. - I tried using "mysqluser" instead of "root" user with password" pwd. But the same problem is arising. Please help me out of this problem as this is eating my valuable time and efforts.
