If you use MySQL for anything beyond casual experimentation, I highly recommend it as well worth the $40-50 (US) that it costs. The first chapter alone gives a few dozen examples of various ways to query the database, which usually answers any of my questions about setting up queries. There are chapters on optimizing the database, security issues, database administration, backup and repair of tables, and a huge set of appendixes with about as much MySQL information as you'd need (including the PHP-MySQL function reference). To boot, when I had a question about how to perform an insert into a table with UNIQUE indexes where I had no control over whether or not the user was entering legitimate values, I posted to the mysql-users mailing list. Within a few hours, I got the solution from a couple of people, including the author of this book himself. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
