How to get a MYSQL Account
Find out how to get an account on FrogNet's MySQL server.
MySQL is an open source relational database. Open source means it's free and that lots of folks around the world constantly work on it to improve it. A relational database is different from a simple spreadsheet like you would find in Microsoft Excel. Relational databases use several tables that can have common data (links) to each other so that a few well designed tables can hold lots of easily searchable data.
MySQL's official web site has lots of information on how to use MySQL commands to create tables and organize your data.
