This course is introduction level for MySQL. It covers examples with handouts and MySQL queries. There will be also free online MySQL access for practice.

Please Note that the Last Chapter is very fast, and it is more about installing MySQL databases on Debian, Ubuntu, and CENTOS. You must require root access if you want to perform those operations.

If I am missing something, you can refer to the handout and SQL script. You can also reach me through email if you need any explanation on specific topics.
