Keep the Files tab open and click '''Browse''' button. A file selector opens. Go to the directory you uncompressed IMDB data files and select '''actors.list''' (see below). To start extraction press '''Extract''' button. As IMDB data files are extremely huge, it is very common IMDB data file extraction takes several hours. Extracting >9 million rows of '''actors.list''' took ~6 hours in my virtual Ubuntu.

 Now click '''OK''' button and database configuration window closes reveling previous dialog window. Enter name for the layer, say '''imdb_actors''', keep the MySQL test database configuration selected, and click '''OK''' button. Wandora creates a new topic map layer and shows it left bottom corner of Wandora application window (see below). Now select the created layer by clicking it. Selected layer is little darker than unselected. Now all "write" operations go to the selected database topic map layer.
-If created layer is dark red, your new layer is broken. Layer is broken when database connection fails for some reason. Check Wandora's terminal window for specific error message. I got broken layer couple of times after entering wrong user name and password for the database.
