creating relational MySQL database

[aphpbuilder]

This has come off the back of a lot of Google searching with no luck bar the following article:

http://www.anchor.com.au/hosting/support/CreatingAQuickMySQLRelationalDatabase

This seems to tick all the boxes but I'd like some feedback to know if this article is going about things in the right way?

If anyone knows of some good articles about how to set up a MySQL relational database I'd appreciate some links too 🙂

There seems to be a lot of conceptual articles out there but I couldn't anything with a hands on approach.

That article you posted looks pretty much hands-on: it gives all the SQL for everything it's doing. It even gives advice on normalisation and optimisation.

If you're wanting to know how to set up the MySQL DBMS itself then the early chapters of the MySQL manual should cover that. There's also PhpMyAdmin, which you could also set up to get a nicer interface.

After that, it is all conceptual: time to start thinking about what you're doing.
