I know this sounds stupid, but what do I need to start off with it? I have no experience with it.

Hi rtdesigns. Welcome to the world of databases. If you are planning on using MySQL with PHP, then here is my advice. This is the way i've learn mysql for the first time. here is the checklist of things you need to do before advancing to database connectivity. 1. understanding of HTML programming 2. understanding of Database concept 3. understanding of the defination of Dynamic Web Pages. 4. understanding the functions and the differences of Server Side Scripting and Client Side Scripting. make sure you understand all above before continue on reading. otherwise, you might just wast your time here. Ok, if you are ready, this is my advice "Get PHP manual instead". Download the help file (.CHM) from this link: http://www.php.net/download-docs.phpThen, open it and type "MySQL Function". There you will be given the most basic tutorial about MySQL in PHP programming. Happy browsing!

My advice would be to first try to get some idea of relational database designing. The basic concepts of how you should store your data. For example, in relational DBs you should avoid redundancy. It's also important to know about joining tables and such. For this, I'd recommend finding a book of the basics of databases. Here's some: (grabbed these from our universitys database course webpages) Fred McFadden, Jeffrey Hoffer, Mary Prescott: Modern Database Management, Addison-Wesley, 5th Edition, 1999. C.J. Date: An Introduction to Database Systems, Addison-Wesley, 6th Edition, 1995. Thomas Connolly, Carolyn Begg, Anne Strachan: Database Systems, Addison-Wesley, 2nd Edition, 1998. Ullman, J.D.& Widom J. A First Course in Database Systems, Prentice Hall, 1997. After you have some basic knowledge go forth and try it in practise. It is really not that difficult as it might sound, you just need some basic info to get started.

Mysql Multiple Tables

It is good practice to use multiple tables to sort out big amounts of data. But once you do that it
becomes increasingly hard to cross reference the tables. Mysql has a little beautiful command
structure that they have added. You can select multiple tables within one sql query. Example of a
basic sql query CODE $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row=1"; If you noticed that I selected
all of the rows in the table. Normally you will try to not select the entire table from the database
unless you absolutely want all of the table. I would recommend against it; just gra...

Mysql And User File_priv

HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file
permissions of the database user but this seems not possible with most of the hosting providers.
The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
which makes querries like: "LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablen...

Subqueries In Mysql
- Using subqueries in MySQL. Very helpful. (1)
This method is very useful. I always use this when simple queries of linking two tables is not
enough. This method is putting a query inside a query. Example: SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN
(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE field1='id') AS subtable or joining multiple queries SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE userid='001') AS subtable1 LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM table2
WHERE field1='id') AS subtable2 You can join more than two queries depending on the output
you want. If someone already posted this topic here I'm sorry I don't know....
