Learning MySQL Stored Procedures 
It ha been a very long time (over 2.5 years) since I wrote any stored procedures in PL/SQL. But now the MySQL 5 has them I will be pulling out those old rusty skills and turning my hand to them again.
Why - because *gasp* the boss wants to switch over to MySQL 5 now that it is production ready. I have been told to learn about the new cool features - stored procedures, triggers, views specifically - and how PHP can work with them. Very Cool.
Is it just me - or am I the bosses knowledge bank (not that I’m complaining). First learning about various bug tracking systems, then Perl and now this… When ever he wants to know about something - he sends it to me. Kinda nice since I get to expand my own knowledge with at least all of the subjects basics.
Wouldn’t mind playing a little bit more with Perl and it’s modules - but I think I pretty good basic grasp of it now. At least - enough of one not to hurt myself very much or often with it. Stored procedures are coming back kinda - again it has been a long while and I really only did basic stuff then - but it is fun learning this stuff.
