Re: [PHPMyEdit-Discuss] Newbie Question

[<al...@ow...>]

Hello Shaun,

I am afraid you need to pick up a book about MySQL or visit one of the
many sites with the MySQL documentation. MySQL is a proper relational
database and you seem to think it is something like Access which is little
more than a file format.

I doubt that learning about MySQL is the job of this list.

You need to learn about sql, how to use the command line program, how to
do a backup, how to do a restore, and so on. phpMyEdit will help you with
some of this but you ought to know how to do it without phpMyEdit too.

Goodluck

Alex
