Hi A faq without questions would be pretty empty!
While you have the questions why not keep a note (or send them to me) Once we have some momentum we can put some answers and tutorials together. I thought I would email MySql to see if they like the idea, if not then I will build it.

I'd love to contribute, but not only am I very busy but also very new. I could probably contribute a lot of *questions*, but this FAQ is probably meant to also have *answers* :-) % % > [James: ] $44.99 SRP - a low cost compared to the 'deep breath" below % :-) % % I know there are good books, and I especially like Paul's books on % MySQL. There are good books by German authors on MySQL, too. I'm happy to hear of it; I may have to go out and pick it up! % % But, then again, refering to books will bring up the same sort of % answers people on this list are complaing about ("hey, stupid, go buy % book xyz and read it before asking silly questions"). With a FAQ, this Well, it would be nice to have a listing of readers' favorite and most helpful books so that newbies know *what* to go and pick out, for one thing; I don't think that book references are all bad! % could be "You will find the answer for your question at % www.mysql.com/faq/answer_xyz.html". Yes; that's very good. % % > So, any thoughts? Where do we go from here? % % Nowhere, I suppose :( Wait; quite on the contrary! I think that good work can start (granted, it would probably start faster if I jumped in to contribute more, but...) right now! % % Maybe some of the folks at MySQL AB will read this and come up with a % database structure for the FAQ on MySQL.com and user accounts for you % and me (and maybe others, once this thing has started). Why should it have to be there? Let anyone with a site set it up and get it going and see if readers will even care about it, and *then* perhaps have it move to mysql.com later... % % Regards, % -- % Stefan Hinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> % Geschäftsführer / CEO iConnect GmbH <http://iConnect.de> % Heesestr. 6, 12169 Berlin (Germany) % Tel: +49 30 7970948-0 Fax: +49 30 7970948-3 HTH & HAND & Happy Holidays mysql query, :-D - -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
