Learning about MySQL

Where did you learn it all about MySQL databases?

I need to hold my breath and learn more about them at this point but of course time is tight.

I was wondering whether some kind DP member could point me in the right direction for an easy guide to MySQL databases...

Thank you!

 

I learned from this book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672317842/002-9439805-2945657?v=glance

And now I'm reading this one:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...002-9439805-2945657?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

 

luckily mysql.com has great documentation of iteself

also phpmyadmin is a very use friendly interface to a mysql database

 

I read Kofler's book, The Difinitive Guide to mySql, second edition (isbn 1590591445)

It's the best resource I could find.

Good luck

Try Google- everybody's best friend

 

Yeah, I always follow the "mysql select syntax" google routine, or whatever function I'm looking for. Works perfect every time

 

check the mysql.info file that comes with your zip/tar distribution file. Everything is in there, and that's a lot. learn to search for examples , try them, and learn from them.

Good luck!
