MySQL help

[WilLes]

I was wondering if theres an idiots guide of some sorts to using MySQL. I'm having a hard time with the .sql's and sourcing. So if anyone has any tips on this or some sort of guide I would love to read up on it so I can customize my server! Thank!

At the very least you need to understand:

a) How to install MySQL(set up password and user)
b) How to log into your user.
c) How to tell MySQL to use a database.
d) How to obtain data from your database tables.
e) How to modify data on each table
f) Understand what does each TYPE field means(int, VARCHAR, byte, smallint, etc).

Understand that and sourcing an .sql will be really simple.
