Learning MySQL

Well, I'm finally taking the time to learn MySQL. I've wanted to do it for a long time, but who has the time to learn databases and syntax just because? Now our i.TV statistician has gone to run another business and I am taking over running queries, so at last I have an excuse to learn MySQL. It's actually kind of fun to see how people are using our application, what actions are taken most often, and finding out the rich source of data mining can be done through our database.

Anyway, I'm sure the next few days will be filled with queries and learning how to efficiently find what we need. If anyone has any great tips, I'd love to hear them.
