RTFM? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ Search the archives of the mailing list? http://lists.mysql.com/ Search the forums? http://forums.mysql.com/ STFW? http://www.yahoo.com/ http://www.google.com/ http://www.msn.com/ The research is easy as all of these sources have search features. If you come to an actual question that you could not answer from any of these sources, you are most welcome to bother us. I think we all remember what it's like to be newbies and most of us didn't have the web or emails or much else to rely on to learn from. We are happy to help but we do hope for a minimum of effort from the person asking the questiono to find the answer on their own first. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life." (Chinese proverb) We give away a lot of fish on this list but I think most of us try to teach as we go. See you soon!
