Right now, I'm developing a mysql client program in Java using the Mysql JDBC driver. You can do stuff in Perl and C/C++ to with the right libraries/Perl modules. I'm also using the PHP3 mysql package to create dynamic web pages that access mysql data.
Read the manual in /usr/doc/mysql. Create a sample table and load some data into it. Run some SQL queries. Setting up permissions is tricky. If you need any more help, or anything I've said is unclear, feel free to mail me. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
