A New and Frustrated User

[Charles Hartman]

Sarah,

I'm working on my first MySQL app, so out of curiosity I took a look  
at your test stack. It's not fancy, though perfectly workmanlike --  
but I'm already finding it really handy as a tool. I use it to check  
what's actually going on in the database behind my fumbles with the  
Rev front-end. Without it, I'd have to switch to Terminal all the  
time and issue MySQL commands; this is faster and breaks the train of  
thought a lot less. Thanks!

P.S. I can second what you said about adding on complications when  
you undertake to make Rev and MySQL work together; I'm glad this  
isn't my first project -- I'm a little daunted by it as a second one.
