Agree about the format of the site :-) IMHO the best tutorial for MySQL is Paul Dubois' book "MySQL", published by New Riders, which you can grab from amazon or b&n or wherever you usually buy these sorts of things. Takes you from beginner through to funky advanced stuff painlessly and clearly. Highly recommended.
