Hi I'm from an Oracle background and wanted to ask a couple of questions: 1) Have installed mysql 4 on a linux server. If I want to access this from another machine (i.e. run a MySQL-compliant client), is there a 'listener' of some sort that has to run on the server where the database is? MySQL uses port/socket to listen uniquely. No listener as such available. To access another machine you pass the arguments -p (for port) / -S (for socket) instead of @ to connect to an instance. 2) Can anyone tell me if MySQL allows the storage of BLOB data? Yes. 3) What is a good resource for learning about PHP & MySQL 'together'? php.net & mysql.com Thanks for any and all pointers - happy to help myself if you can direct me to where i will find the info. cheers Jeremy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
