I've got a project here at work that may give me an opportunity to learn
SQL. I need to parse comma delimited text files into data sets and then
generate HTML graphs to be published on the web. I've found a Java based
graphing package that may do what I need and it has a SQL interface. 

I've already go a Linux Box sitting on my desk and I figured MySQL may be
the way to go. I'd really appreciate any advice on intro texts or other
sources of info you've found helpful. I'm looking for introductory
information about setup, use, and backup. 

If any of you have a niftier way of accomplishing this, I'd appreciate any
additional info you have!

TIA, Kirt
