And So It Begins

February 6th, 2007

A while back I invited you all, from my sister site, to join me on a journey to explore my new favorite RDBMS, MySQL. Well here we are and thank you for joining me. In this the first installment, I wanted to set down the ground rules and let you know how we are going to be doing things.

 

Every installment will have 2 parts. An audio podcast, covering that installment’s material, and a blog entry on the website to support the podcast, show notes, links, code and commands mentioned in the podcast. The blog will not be limited to simply supporting the podcasts. I will also be blogging my ideas and thoughts about a multitude of subjects related directly and indirectly to MySQL.

 

I will try as much as possible to stay true to MySQL and not rant about other subjects on this site. You can always visit my main site at christoskalantzis.com for those.

 

Bye! Thanks for all the fish!

 

Note: The closing line is taken from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. In the book, the Dolphins leave before the Earth is destroyed and thank the humans for all the fish they fed on while visiting us here. MySQL uses a Dolphin (Sakila) to represent itself, so I find it fitting to end every podcast and blog entry with that line.
