I think the book is truly great...in fact I plan to buy a second copy for home. And the examples are generic enuf I use them for Oracle and Postgres as well as MySQL. (With minor changes, of course). Between this tome and Reuven Lerner's CORE Perl a web developer can get off to a flying start. (Unrelated but a very good recent release from Wiley is "Mastering Unix Shell Scripting" by Randal Michael which also has a companion web site and tarball). Anyway, thanks Paul for a terrific book. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Good e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Programmer/Analyst phone: (+1) 718.818.5528 Residential Services fax: (+1) 718.818.5056 Behavioral Health Services, SVCMC-NY mobile: (+1) 917.282.7359 Freedom is the right to yell theatre in a crowded fire. - Abbie Hoffman
