Hi,

 I would like to learn about RDBMS, namely mysql of course, but know
 really nothing in this area, so have to learn about; RDBMS, SQL and
 mysql from scratch.

 In this regard, if anyone knows of any books they think would start me
 off on the right foot, I would be very grateful.

I have done some searching on Amazon, with the following results.

 1.    Beginning Databases with MySQL
        by Richard Stones, Neil Matthew

 2.    MySQL Cookbook
        by Paul DuBois

 3.    Managing and Using MySQL
       by George Reese, et al

 4.    Inside Relational Databases
        by Mark Whitehorn, Bill Marklyn

 5.    Database Design
        by Ryan K. Stephens, Ronald R. Plew

 6.    The Practical SQL Handbook: Using SQL Variants
        by Judith S. Bowman, et al


Many thanks in advance for all your help.



Fawad
