mysql is easy if you're familiar with SQL92 standards,
if you are a Oracle-guru you will see that mysql doesn't
support half as many things... One things I really miss
is subqueries.
Most of the time I get all my answers from the DOC:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/
search for keywords and you'll probably find it...
I searched for "varchar":
http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Column_types.html
http://www.mysql.com/doc/O/t/Other-vendor_column_types.html
good luck :o)
