MySQL
Still using http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/21/index2a_page5.html?tw=programming as my tutor.
Create a db:
mysqladmin -u root create mydb
Load records into mydb database.
Create a file mydb.dump with the following text and save it in the /tmp directory.
CREATE TABLE employees ( id tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, first varchar(20), last varchar(20), address varchar(255), position varchar(50), PRIMARY KEY (id), UNIQUE id (id));INSERT INTO employees VALUES (1,'Bob','Smith','128 Here St, Cityname','Marketing Manager'); INSERT INTO employees VALUES (2,'John','Roberts','45 There St , Townville','Telephonist'); INSERT INTO employees VALUES (3,'Brad','Johnson','1/34 Nowhere Blvd, Snowston','Doorman'); From the command line, type:
mysql -u root mydb < /tmp/mydb.dump
Now test pages, (these are only accessible from my LAN): http://purdy/~bruceo/mysql_test.php3 It works!

To Do List:
Investigate GUI interface(s)
Practice queries (Any Access-like tools out there?)
Investigate application development and distribution.
