I am interested in learning how to use MySql. Dose anyone have any links to some tutorials? I'm using a remote Unix host (iPowerWeb to be exact); and I do all my scripting in Perl; not PHP.

has an excellent SQL tute that you can use right beside MySQL to do a lot of the stuff.  They run on M$ servers but I think it'll be ok :)

i have a question about mySql. not really related to this topic, but i didnt want to start another thread.
what is the difference between SQLServer & MySQL? Which one is more powerful, more scalable, etc? A couple of freinds are convinced that MySQL is complete shit, and i really want to fight that. I have heard that MySQL is just as good if not better.

MySQL is not as fully featured as MSSQL, but it's not meant to be. MySQL is supposed to be a lean, realtively lightweight dbms for use with websites, which is why it's used so much as a web backend.
However, you can still use free software if you do require a fully featured dbms; postgresql.

PostgreSQL is the heavyweight SQL server that is more like MSSQL.
Like flap said, MySQL is light but quite functional.

Oops, just read the tread properly and realised I have pretty much said exactly what flap said.
Nevermind, no harm done I guess.
