Hiya,

Thanks for all the responses. i have never used mysql usenet groups, so i
just popped in to take a look, and found that they are at least an order
less popular than the php groups. On my ISP, i found the following number of
posts for these groups:

comp.lang.php - 22296 posts
comp.databases.mysql - 1067 posts
alt.comp.databases.mysql - 128 posts

i know it is a poor excuse for posting here though, but it is kind of you
folks to reply.

The huge difference in the number of posts sets me wondering... is it much
easier to use SQL than PHP, and so there is nothing much to discuss? Or are
there some other reasons?


cheers
