- September 2, 2010, on Introduction to Database Management Systems:
I'd avoid MySQL when learning about RDBMSes - it's philosophically a bit different, as evidenced by the silent errors and nondefault status of InnoDB. I use PostGres instead - it's free, and the command line tools are excellent. It's straightforward to configure and install, and has mature support pretty much anywhere you care to use it.
