Both already exist: FAQ: http://www.bitbybit.dk/mysqlfaq - although not created and maintained by MySQL AB, I believe it does answer most of the common questions - and I happen to know that the editor is very keen on adding stuff that others are willing to submit :-) Posting guidelines: Read The Fine Manual, ch. 1.2.22 - it's been in there forever, though most people seem to forget to either read or to follow them <rant>(this goes for some of the @mysql.com people too, especially the point about only including the relevant parts of the original message in a reply)</rant> > -------------- Guidelines for Posting to the MySQL list ----------------- <cut> There are some more good points in these guidelines. But seriously: I don't think anyone is willing to read what amounts to two or three printed pages before starting posting. Human beings are simply too lazy to do that, especially when sitting with a problem they need solved yesterday. / Carsten -- Carsten H.
