I really, really like Paul DuBois' book //MySQL// (New Bridge publishers). It's clear, concise and easy to read. jody On Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 4:31 PM, Tim Emerick <timothyemerick-/[email protected]> wrote: > I've been using MS Excel's Pivot Tables for years to analyze large chunks of data.

I'm not sure where I want to end up but I know that I want to eventually keep a repository of approximately 470,000 records per year and be able to generate various reports. Mind you, I'm not a programmer in any sense of the word. Would love if I could use Excel Pivot Tables as the reporting tool with MySQL as the back end. > > LAMP? Ruby on Rails? phpMyAdmin?
