Archiving Mail on mysql
Has anyone done any programming relating to using mysql as a mail archive? I'd like to play around with mysql, and I happen to have alot of old mail that I don't need. I'm using Mozilla, so it shouldn't be hard to extract mail from the mail folders and input them into a database. I'm a newbie at databases, so I'm wondering how would I handle messages that have binary attachments. I could send the whole thing as a blob, but then I would have problems with full text searching. I'm willing to work with other people on this and share whatever code results from it.

Certification Test Questions
1. What is the format of the test questions? I.e., are they multiple choice, free answer, essay, etc.? Are they theory based or is it fact based, i.e., memorize the books to pass? 2. Upon the recommendation of someone on this list, I purchased two books, one entitled, MySQL by Paul Dubois, and An Introduction to Database Systems by C.J. Date. Would these materials, together with practice on a live server, suffice to give me the knowledge to pass the certification test? 3. What version is the test geared for?

Recommended Course
This might be a bit of a repeat, but I didn't get too many responses. Can someone recommend a course in the Northeast of the US that teaches the details of the use of mysql?

Best Method for Learning mysql
Based on the collective experiences of the members of this group, what are the best methods for learning mysql, both from the perspective of certification and of learning enough to excel in the production environment? My interests include both the specifics of mysql and the general concepts behind the use and administration of databases in general. I'm interested in both free and pay-for methods. I'm particularly interested in solicitations from companies offering products in this area, so if you represent such a company or otherwise have an interest in my business, please feel free to send a private email. In fact, its probably better if people in general send me private emails, from which I shall endeavor to summarize to the public list.

Online Training for mysql
Does anyone know of a site that offers online training in mysql for the purpose of passing the certification tests? I am willing to pay for descent training, especially if the provider is recognized by mysql AB.
