Moving on to the next level with MySQLMan and MySQL...
I have had MySQLMan working for about a month. It has allowed me to quickly populate databases with 1,000's of records. Now I need to move on "to the next level" of being able to do things like set a field to allow only certain values (the "SET" statement empowered with allowed entries), to present the data to the user in a GUI format (must I learn GTK+ or Qt to accomplish this?), to manipulate data so that it is entered only once but can be displayed in multiple tables based on key values (if this is a "JOIN" statement is this supported within MySQLMan?).
Anyhow, I'm ready to go to the "next level". Can somebody beam me up? Or at least point me to a good book for using Perl with MySQL, or advanced tools? A tutorial on using DBI with a Perl front end might be good, but I'd like to remain above ground wherever possible.
Finally, what is DBMan? Maybe this is the type of utility set which I am seeking? TIA,
