If you want to play with an SQL server, you are going to need one of the mysql-server ports/packages. Since this would be a new install for you and you don't really have any requirements I would suggest going with the newest production version (not a development release). The client is included with the server. In a production environment, the client would often be installed on many systems but the server only on a few. > Also wondering if anyone can point me towards documentation in my > learning efforts? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html http://www.mysql.com/ SQL servers are complicated things. Read through the documentation, follow examples and try them out for yourself. -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/
