Re: MySQL basics

The other comments point you to a lot of resources about MySQL, as requested. I would also recommend that you look at Class::DBI on CPAN. It's a great interface to quite a few databases, including Postgres and MySQL.

SQL Course SQL Course 2 These give you a CGI interface to a test database they have setup online to test your learning on. Many of the afformentioned links probably have a stronger set of material, but messing with a database that's not tied to a machine you own can be handy when you're first learning how NOT to blow things up in a db.

Just wanted to second that. I found http://www.sqlcourse.com/ very useful, and totally "why didn't someone else think of this?" to be able to type code into the page and click on 'submit' and see what happened. If this is the way you like to learn then it's pretty good. `($_='kkvvttuubbooppuuiiffssqqffssmmiibbddllffss') =~y~b-v~a-z~s; print` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
