I'm not a database programmer but a user starting to learn modern database (I never came further than dbase II!) as formerly I had all my database programming done by others. Now I'm retired an have to learn to do it myself. I can work with a mysql database but e.g. I haven't found how to approach it from OO as I'm too stupid to understand the manual which tells me "In a database file window of type MySQL ...." but I doesn't tell me how to get "a database file of..." but that's not your concern.
