Thanks, me too, Mr Wright

So how strong are you with the SQL?
-
@MrWright4hire Pretty strong. Assuming we're talking about MySQL centered and not something like T-SQL, which I know fairly well, but MySQL's my wheelhouse.
-
I was asking cause I don't know much about it. worked on it a while back, but now...no go. You know any great video tutorials on the matter?
-
@MrWright4hire No, sorry, I don't. I got mostly acquainted with MySQL prior to YouTube and so forth. I still watch some stuff related to highly scalable stuff every now and again, though the kind of stuff I've done sometimes goes beyond even the hypothetical environments in the videos, unless the video is about Facebook or something that big. My suggestion though if you just want some basic information about it, MySQL's web site actually does have a lot of information, and in addition to that, the stackoverflow.com tag for MySQL is good, and there are tons of other tutorials out there.
Getting the base information is fairly straight forward, getting good information on storage engines, indices, proper queries, etc (something you should worry about once you're familiar with SQL itself) is in the manual, but usually there is sort of vague and hard to understand, so it'll take some searching. There may be videos about this stuff, but again I don't know, maybe go to Google Video and search MySQL and change your search options for videos 20+ minutes, that way you know they're detailed.
On my blog I also write articles about MySQL and MySQL-related projects from time to time, and I suggest you check out the ones involving case sensitivity and also unicode storage.

Thanks Tony! I'll check those links out.
