Learning MySQL - Some questions

[748323]

I learn better if somebody directly answers my questions, instead of just reading.

So.. here is what I think I know about MySQL. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

A MySQL database is a file that contains many different variables, and their values. Each database has different tables. These tables contain columns and rows, which hold specific values. You can name a row and column, and grab the value of the variable placed in that cell.

Where can I read up on MySQL?
Where can I learn all of the functions, etc?

Thanks.

748323,
Your first port of call should be

http://www.mysql.com.

A name that is becoming increasingly linked with this great program is

http://www.sitepoint.com.

And you can ask google by entering the magic letters mysql tutorials and you will have enough reading to get you through to the Christmas after this.

For some excellent sql plus VBA,

http://www.fontstuff.com,

where Martin Green's helpful and humorous tutorials will help. Good luck. You're on the right tracks ...
