Hi,

I have some questions concerning Slack 10:

1. Where can I find an "easy" tutorial on how to get started with mysql?
(the manual of mysql seems to me a bit complicated for a first use)
2. How can I connect OpenOffice to mysql?
3. Is there a way to make russian and chinese fonts readable under gnome
(I always get squares with numbers in them)

thanks

thibaud

Well, not really. You have questions concerning some of the software
which is included in Slackware 10.

Did you see this tutorial?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Tutorial.html

If that's not what you're looking for, explain why and perhaps someone
can direct you elsewhere.


Can you be more explicit on what you want to do, and what docs you read
that weren't enough to get started? (It seems like there is quite a bit
of documentation at dba.openoffice.org.)

If you want a simple book to get you going 'PHP in Easy Steps' by
Mike McGrath is a good start in my opinion. It is published by
Computer Step, ISBN 1-84078-207-2. It gave me enough of a clue to
get started and then make sense of the PHP documentation on the
'net, which is excellent once you get a grasp of the basics.

If you do get this book go to it's website as there have been a few
important changes to PHP since it was published (2002). The
main impact on myself was the use of superglobals to handle sessions.

Opp, I read Php for MySQL, however the book covers using PHP and MySQL
together at the end, it would give you a start.

Get the tutorial at their site (I think it is in the middle of the manual).
It helps a lot and is much simpler than the general language of the manual.

Hi,
about the fonts...
I had humbly suggested to you a solution replaying to your previous
post named "fonts"
but I have not received feedback so probabily my advice was not
useful...

Best Regards,
Ste

I think you need to use one of the Unx ODBC drivers for that. I was
able to get it to work that way with postgresql back in the old
StarOffice 5.x days. Dunno if OpenOffice ships with any native drivers.

After some searching at openoffice.org, I found this:

in fact it didn't help very much but at least it had the advantage to
learn me some new things about fonts
