All,

This is the first time I am using MySQL and hence listing all the steps. This is actually a reinstall of MySQL since my 1st attempt had failed.

I have installed the latest version of MySQL Community Server on my machine. The installation folder is `C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5` . The `data` folder resides in this folder path itself. I have created few tables in the MySQL command prompt by:

1 > Going into MS DOS Prompt.  

2 > Making `C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5` as my current directory  

3 > Entered command: `mysql -u root -p`  

4 > Entered password  

5 > Placed my script file(.sql) which creates new tables in the folder `C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin`  

6 > In the command prompt, typed `source <scriptfile>.sql`  

7 > Now, I get warnings for few tables. But when I enter command `SHOW TABLES`, all the tables in the script file are shown. 

However, I am not able to locate the tables created in form of directories/files on the drive. The data folder does not contain my tables as well.**Can anyone please tell me where are the tables located?**
