[nmglug] MySQL - Howto

[Tim Emerick]

TOAD actually looked interesting to me.  I'm currently in a Microsoft-centric office.  It would seem that I could use TOAD as the front end on the XP machines in the office but run a linux app in the background managing the database.  I have never used a database before, Windows or Linux based which is where my dilemma lies.  My closest database experience is probably long lists of info in Excel.

Tim.

Toad looks pretty worthless to me.
