A couple of good links for databases.
Database Design (quick and dirty, but gets the points across):
http://www.geekgirls.com/menu_databases.htm - the from scratch side
SQL:
Basics: http://www.sqlcourse.com (you probably already know this stuff -
but just in case.
semi-Advanced: http://sqlcourse2.com (joins are specifically at
http://sqlcourse2.com/joins.html).

Hi,
I'm relatively new to the database-scene. I've installed MySQL on Mac
OSX 10.3, which was easy. I've installed Perl support for MySQL, which
was suprisingly difficult. I've installed CocoaMySQL
(http://cocoamysql.sourceforge.net/) to create, inspect and backup
databases. And now I'm building my first database, and that is not as
easy as I had hoped. I know that use of the 'JOIN' keyword can save me
pages of Perl code, but how it works exactly is not yet clear to me.
Therefore I'm looking for a book, or maybe other documentation (on the
web?), that can point me in the right direction. More specifically, I'm
looking for a book that explains how to design and build databases, with
examples of the queries in MySQL. Most books describe how you install
MySQL, and list the SQL commands, but this information I already have.
Can any of you suggest to me some helpful learning material?
Thanks,
