[NTLUG:Discuss] database(s) on Linux

[Fred James]

Break that down for me, please - treat me like a total newbie.  Quoting 
from <http://www.mysql.com/company/index.html>, last sentence of second 
paragraph, "The unique separation of the core server from the table 
handler makes it possible to run MySQL under strict transaction control 
or with ultrafast transactionless disk access, whichever is most 
appropriate for the situation."

Second, could you please point me to the best place/book to start 
learning MySQL?
Thanks.
