Yeah, a tutorial on Advanced SQL in the MySQL Track? and it covers things
like check() constraints. Seems like there should just be a plain
"database tutorials" track, as his being part of MySQL makes little or no
sense.

I'm pretty sure Joe is on one or two of our mailing lists, so if he sees
this maybe he can clarify why they put him on the MySQL list instead of
Postgresql or firebird. I'm certain MySQL is NOT his favorite open source
database.
