[PHP] 2 General MySQL Questions
hi, i'm awared that this is not exactly the correct forum for these questions. please humor me this one time: 1) can anyone refer me please to a public, postable MySQL newsgroup? i've found a few MySQL newsgroups, but none of them allows posting. it would be great if you could also tell me the name of the (public) newsgroup server hosting the group. if you don't know of a newsgroup, how about a good (digest-capable) mailing list? i've tried the MySQL general mailing list, but they don't offer a 'digest' option and i can't handle getting hundreds of posts a day in my inbox. 2) who can refer me to a good intermediate tutorial to better learn MySQL syntax? again, i've been to mysql.com, but i find the structure format of the site somehow daunting (not as user-friendly as the annotated manual at php.net). thanks muchly, tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

1) can anyone refer me please to a public, postable MySQL newsgroup? i've found a few MySQL newsgroups, but none of them allows posting. it would be great if you could also tell me the name of the (public) newsgroup server hosting the group. Not sure, but a hunt around on groups.google.com might well reveal something. 2) who can refer me to a good intermediate tutorial to better learn MySQL syntax? again, i've been to mysql.com, but i find the structure format of the site somehow daunting (not as user-friendly as the annotated manual at php.net). Agree about the format of the site :-) IMHO the best tutorial for MySQL is Paul Dubois' book MySQL, published by New Riders, which you can grab from amazon or bn or wherever you usually buy these sorts of things. Takes you from beginner through to funky advanced stuff painlessly and clearly. Highly recommended.

i'm awared that this is not exactly the correct forum for these questions. please humor me this one time: Hmmm. if you don't know of a newsgroup, how about a good (digest-capable) mailing list? i've tried the MySQL general mailing list, but they don't offer a 'digest' option and i can't handle getting hundreds of posts a day in my inbox. Try the list found at www.mysql.com it's archive:http://lists.mysql.com/ Don't forget to check the archive before you post.. Dunno if it's digest-capable.. you need to find that one out on your own. 2) who can refer me to a good intermediate tutorial to better learn MySQL syntax? again, i've been to mysql.com, but i find the structure format of the site somehow daunting (not as user-friendly as the annotated manual at php.net). www.devshed.com has some good tutorials. Otherwise you could use a searchengine and type some words like: mysql tutorial Should help.. The book MySQL written by Paul DuBois is great..
