title: How do I register an mysql database?
body: <p>Sorry for a noob question regarding MySQL. I downloaded <a href="http://dl.flightstats.us/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FlightStats</a> to learn about mysql but I can't figure out how to register it with my localhost mysql db. I know in MS SQL you can simply register any sql db using sql studio. I tried to google but come up with no result. Perhaps, my search phrase is wrong. I'm searching with "how to register a mysql database, register a mysql database...etc.". How do you register or setup an database from existing database like FlightStats? I'm using DBVisualizer. Is there a way in dbVis that I'm not aware of to regsiter a database?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>edit: sorry for the bad wording. I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/879176/how-to-recover-mysql-db-from-myd-myi-frm-files">this</a>. I have the .myd, .myi and .frm and I want to get it to restore(?) with my local mysql instance. I look at all the answers but I'm still confuse as how you restore the database from those 3 files.</p>
