Not sure, but a hunt around on groups.google.com might well reveal
something.

Agree about the format of the site :-)
IMHO the best tutorial for MySQL is Paul Dubois' book "MySQL", published by
New Riders, which you can grab from amazon or b&n or wherever you
usually buy these sorts of things. Takes you from beginner through to funky
advanced stuff painlessly and clearly. Highly recommended.
