Anything on the topic of actual queries I would skip, those are narrow and finite questions, usually specific to a certain application, and quickly answered on the list. I would cover what is more mysterious to most, which is the underbelly of mysql. Today there was good dialogue on the bin logs, that I think is stuff that helps people. Demystifying all the .cnf options, how to optimize for load, test the load etc. Steer clear of high end features like replication and the like, things that generally, if you are worried about them, your app is doing well enough you should be around knowledgeable people already. For me at least, it would be more about internals, that the step by step of how to do a join. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
