Granted... But what about the fact that it takes lots of time to learn another way to do the same thing versus the time it takes to just navigate to the click. I am a business man working IN a business trying to find what precious little time I can to work ON the business, so that one day the BUSINESS can run the business. In my case I have to realize I do not want to become a professional programmer but gather enough skills to build tools that will generate income or save expences so that I can afford a professional programmer to do such work and that by that time I will be able to inteligently and effectively communicate with said programmer as to what we need to make the business run better. If you feel I am missing the mark please, please do advise. You guys know this stuff and the dynamics of corporations more than I.

Robert, You cannot avoid command line over time. Most GUI tools for MySQL are just tools that execute command line actions. You will find in time that command line will be faster than UI as UI will still ahve to render and you will click 10 times for something you could have typed in less time. As for Safari Books, read their website. Teddy On 1/12/07, Robert Reil <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: What is this a bunch of PDF's? Robert P.

For $19/mon you can check out 10 books out at a time. For $40/mon, you get unlimited access. www.safaribooksonline.com <http://www.safaribooksonline.com/> The books are virtual and you read them online. I have several friends using it and it saves them a lot of money when they jsut want to read certain chapters of certain books.

As for "the ACFUG library", there is no real one. I will say I've been meaning to create a virtual one (where people post the books they have and members can borrow from each other by way of bringing desired or returned books to the meeting, with email notifications to track it all and using the Amazon web service to ease data entry), and I have renewed interest in that for other reasons, so look for that soon. That said, does anyone have a copy of that book to lend to Robert at the next meeting (or the Flex meeting on Wed, if you both would be going)? /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ <http://www.carehart.org/blog/> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] On Behalf Of Robert Reil Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 9:46 AM To: discussion@acfug.org <mailto:discussion@acfug.org> Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] DB Design Book Reccomendations? Starting to get into CF I now am aware that I need to understand things about DB design. Can anyone recommend a good book on how to design a DB? I am learning things about autoincrementing, indexing, datatypes, foreign keys, scripts, etc. I am running MySQL but realize that a MySQL book will give me command line notes. I edit MySQL using Navicat (A WONDERFUL PROGRAM!! THANKS JOHN MASON!!). But I realize my weaness is not in how to make DB changes, but what changes to make in setting up a DB in order to have CF do what I want it to do in designing our Corporate Intranet. Maybe the ACFUG library has something in it I can borrow? Charlie? Thanks in advance. Robert P.
