HALLO THE GROUP
Ahem. Hi all..
After discovering the ALUG at the UEA last Sunday - I've been volunteered into getting something going for the O'Reilly books ALUG (via David) now hold. I wanted to borrow the book on MySQL and mSQL - so :) I have been asked to write a system.
Oh No!
Who me? Me Steve. Me much too much to do (tax, company returns, commuting, 2 houses to buy, holiday someday) but then I want to explore MySQL.
Agghhhhh! Not the omnipotent, and very nasty hack that is MySQL ;) Can I suggest that after "learning" from MySQL you try a real database system that actually works such as PostgreSQL. MySQL is alright, as long as things are simple, PostgreSQL is *much* nicer (at least in my opinion, anyone else want to comment ;)
Just my 2p worth,
Brett
