Martin, I definitely sympathize. The company I used to work for before I
retired (and still advise) is moving from the in-house membership system I
built for them over the last 20 years to CIVI-CRM, which is MySQL based.
We used MySQL on our Joomla-based website and I've been doing some work in
WordPress, so I've got some familiarity with MySQL(more than I used to
have), but it still drives me nuts at times!
