    I have been working on learning php / MYSQL but I want to find some good tutorial or resource about MYsql (and sql language used in MYSQL). I would like to learn a good deal about indexes and optimizing queries befoe I take the plunge into designing a php/MYSQL website.

    Any sugestions?


    thanks

    This might not be a lot of help, but I learned everything I know from the manuals at php.net and mysql.com

    I have to agree with Exam. The manuals on these two sites are quite possibly the best resources for these products online. I downloaded the .chm help files and use them daily.

    What helped me gain an understanding of php and mysql was downloading and installing phpnuke (or myphpnuke) from the beginning (not using cpanel) and getting in and tweaking and breaking. Helped immensely.

    Look up relational database design in general. That is what teaches good table and record design as well as how to use indexes and what type indexes perform best and which can be pitfalls.

    Find a class in database design at a local community college or university. It helps tremendously and you get a feel for the database concepts in general.
