hey everyone,
I'm about to take an introductory course in databases in the fall, but I figured I could start learning about them now. I downloaded & installed MySQL Server 5.1, but I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point. I'll migrate to the bin folder and type in the following:
This will bring me to some sort of main menu. But anyways, can anyone give me some advice or direct me to a really good tutorial? I've been doing some searching on Google and I've found some stuff. I've learned that you can distinguish between the entity that actually stores data (i.e. storage engine) from the management system (which allows you to manipulate the structure that holds data via commands like SQL commands), but I figured asking on here wouldn't hurt either.
thanks,
--Jonathan
