QUOTE(lonebyrd @ Apr 29 2007, 01:58 PM)  I looked into that site you mentioned, and you are correct. They did have the MySQL Cookbook there. Of course it's just my luck that it was a dead link. Some sort of error like 'Page not found'. But there does look like there could be some other stuff there I would like... If the pages work. My apologies, but, after all you are lucky. After a little research i found it as a torrent file, this is a 1.6GB torrent which includes a complete collection of O'Reilly Books. Right now i'm downloading only a few of them and if the download completes well i can share it later  .Best regards, Edit Well, only to say that the download completes correctly so if you want i can send you the book by mail, if someone else also wants this book please let me know to send it back.

Searching the MySql website i found a complete example of a database similar to the one you need, it's name is sakila and you can download it from here. Also, you can download more databases, examples and tutorials related to these examples by visiting the MySql Documentation page. Best regards, |

While MySQL is the favorite, don't underestimate PostgreSQL. I like PostgreSQL for developing applications, but if I use ready made solutions, most of the time they are deployed on MySQL. I'd take a couple searches through Hotscripts.com and see what people have created and see if anything they have (purhaps for free) might work well for your purposes. It would save you a lot of time and effort of having to code from scratch. Anymore I find myself modifying what others have produced instead of starting for scratch. Given how many thousands of apps have been coded in php/MySQL these days...

TavoxPeru, thanks for the link to the database. I will be looking into it more. And I agree with you unimatrix, about altering already existing scripts. I have done it a few times with PHP. It helps me in two ways. 1 by giving me a quick solution, and 2 helping me learn more about the PHP as I'm trying to alter it. I have been to hotscripts for other things, but I didn't think of looking up databases.

You are welcome, and i agree too, i think that it is a good method for learning new things but sometimes there are more problems than solutions following this aproach. Best regards, |
