SAP2 can auto-generate all the tables if they are not found in the database. All the SAP2 tables are located, by default, in a database called SAP. This database location is c:\mysql\data\sap. Changing the location of is database (e.g., to another drive) is not a trivial task. To simplify it, we provide a separate application: "change_mySQL_data_place.exe". You can find it in the c:\sap\ folder. To use, insert the destination folder
and click "do it!". Note that the table located in the original data\mysql\ folder might be essential for the mySQL server to work, and you might need to move this folder to the same location. You can access the tables via Matlab or via Excel, but the native table-browser is the
MySQL Control Center (MCC). If you do not like MCC, an alternative, and more user friendly alternative is called MySQLyog (http://webyog.com/en/). When opening MCC for the first time you will need to start a new session (just give it a name keeping all the default settings) and then you can “connect” and observe the databases. Double click the SAP database to observe the tables:
