I wish there was a nearby shrine to MySQL I could go visit. I'd like to go there and burn some incense or something.

In the middle of some pretty hairy DB work in order to make the revenue reports work, and I swear to you, all my guesses as to syntax for bizarro table relations that looked like they might work actually did work.

If this were Oracle, this would have taken me a week to figure out.

MySQL is go

Saying "argh" when you drop bacon on the floor makes Leslie laugh.

Anyway, got MySQL on this machine, as well as Perl APIs for it, including Andy's faboo DBIx::Abstract. I now have a full-on LAMP machine. Er, I mean DAMP -- Darwin, Apache, MySQL, Perl. Rock on. This is my prime hacking environment.

I used Marc Liyanage's MySQL for Mac OS packages, which worked great, though I had to toss in some extra symlinks to get the daemon to find the admin database correctly:

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/data/mysql /usr/local/mysql/mysql

What I really want now is bindings between Perl and Aqua. Mmmmm.

Today Leslie/Charles/Me go shopping and I hope to get some cheap shelving and curtain rod hooks so that my bedroom will actually be usable as a work area, and not as a large closet with windows and a mattress in it, which it is now. Until then I don't at all mind hanging out downstairs and working, but several times a day one of the 2.5 other housemates bug me about playing Lost Cities with them again. Heh.
