Additional questions. 1. Where can I buy a book that gives a good overview of the operation and coding of mysql 2. Will this book tell me how to load a standard delimited dos ascii delimited file structure like such, number,characters,number,etc. 1,"characters",32777.19 2,"bill koob"99999.99 3,"more characters",1257.18 ?????????? 3. What kind on manual do you get if you buy the WinNT version? 4. Can you buy a manual specifically for the this trial version? 5. If there is a manual with it discuss such issues at ACCESS sql compatibility with MYSQL? 6. Can anyone give me an idea of how ACCESS would work as a front end for MYSQL with tables of 130 byte records with a total file size in the range of 3.5 gig on a 400 pentium II, Both SCSI UW and IDE drives? Tables would have two indexes of 10 bytes each per index with the variability being in the 1000 range per index. Two users at most, Host and client. 7. Any experience with NTFS compressed drives and MYSQL? 8. Is there any problem with running on the host and the client at the same time. Thanks for any responces.
