My personal opinion on the documentatios is:
It is good, however it is written in a very dry and technical manner
which will be hard to understand for less technically inclined

This I guess is normal since the docs are probably written by the
same people that actually work on MySQL.

post a reply, simply because I can not take time from my day to give out
information that is quoted almost verbatim from (and linked to) the manu
