okay...after a lot of work, I (mostly) completed a project.

the brand new retstak.org is up. Not like it matters or anything, but...I did it...

Comments would be nice or something...

And as a side note, I'd suggest postgreSQL over mysql for various reasons. Views being one of them (mysql doesn't support 'em, which sucks)

Well, yeah, but right now, I'm just playing. And I do have a mySQL book, and I don't have a PostgresSQL book...and yeah, if it comes time to switch, it does. But right now, it's pretty much for learning purposes.

And since I have next to no database fu, what's a view?

IIRC views are like queries that are stored in the database, to save you re-executing them every time. Or something. I've never used them myself, so I could be wrong...
