I'd like to use this extension, but I have a small problem ...

Under "Setup" I find

  Run "ConfirmAccount.sql"

But how have I to run this script?
I know the name of the db, I know the username and the passwd of the  
(most privileged) db administrator, the db uses "mysql". I'm no SQL  
specialist, I fear to damage the db with my tries.

Which command have I to type (yes - pure CLI) to run the script?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
