Hi, MySQL, like other relational databases, does not support arrays or pointers. Arrays and pointers do not fit within the relational model. It would take quite a bit of text to describe what the relational model is and how to use SQL to manipulate data. I suggest that you read a good text on relational databases and the relational model first suggested by Dr. Codd and then come back and ask questions. Anyone on this list would be happy to answer them.
Anybody got any good titles or URLs for Ioana?
