on Linux and any tutorials on SQL?

Hi Chris,
A good start should be : http://www.mysql.com/documentation/index.html
It's the only docs i've used to install and learn mySQL.
HTH,
DocKimbel.

The MySQL docs are very good. There's a whole how-to section
for installing and configuring mysql. Also contains a nice
tutorial of SQL with mysql.
Also, check out:
http://databases.about.com/
There's a link there for "SQL Basics" with a number of good
articles. Also has a section devoted to mysql.
Here's an article about open database protocols including a
discussion of the history of SQL, a simple "English like
language" for getting and putting data which has become a
tower of Babel through willy nilly enhancement.

Hello Chris,
I have MySql running on my RedHat 7 box. It did take a while
to get it figured out.
The best resource is to get on the MySql list at www.mysql.com
all the questions I had were answered there, just by doing a search
on the archives of the list.
The main thing is once you have MySql installed on the system is to make
sure
you have the file permissions correct, make sure that you can execute
the program. Sometimes you can run it as root but no other...
Other than that the main thing is that the name and password system
for MySql is separate from the system name and password.
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Tutorial.html#Tutorial
I found this tutorial invaluable to my learning of MySql.
Peruse the docs
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Installing
This should get you started.
Bill.
