I've been playing with MySql a bit lately and have to say I'm impressed. To me this is a product of the Open Source world that really shows the benefits of Open Source software, especially in the documentation.

I've really just been playing with it, so I don't have any highly technical revelations to report yet, but what really has impressed me so far is the documentation that comes with it in the help file. You can find it on there web site here . For a noob like me the tutorial in that documentation is invaluable. Very simple, easy step by step examples on creating your first database, table, and getting data into and out of it.

Aaron Lynch , Dave Shuck and Rob Wilkerson all encouraged me to check it out and initially I'm glad I took their advise. Thanks fella's.
