go to http://www.mysql.com Get documentation, such as MYSQL Manual. Read it.
No, you do not need MYSQL on your local system, but helps when testing, and learning. MYSQL is available for Unix/Linux and Windows systems. There ae many good books. The "bible" is Paul DuBois book, MYSQL. He often monitors and responds on this email list as well. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Kaczmarek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do I get started? I didn't know where else to turn, but I'm wondering the simple (and stupid) question of how do I get started using and learning MySQL. I recently switched to a hosting company that supports MySQL, but what do I need to get started using it and learning it? Does the MySQL only exist on a web host, or do I also have to have it on my machine to access and use it? How do I get started?
