I haven't tried it, yet, but this looks like an interesting alternative for a "try-before-you-buy" method of selecting books:

If you take a look at this, I would recommend the New Riders title "MySQL" by Paul DuBois. There's just enough in there to explain how an RDBMS works and it's MySQL specific, so you can use it right away. If you want to get deeper into theory, you can move on from there -- but the basic concepts are pretty simple and can be applied to any relational db system. --jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy J.
