MySQL

I am late completing this unit because of both personal and business factors. I began the work at home, then went out of town, and came back to the material. Issues with my vm also delayed my progress. I am not sure if this messed up my uptake of the material but boy was mySQL extremely difficult for me to understand especially privileges and left/right join syntax. The hard part for me was visualizing the tables and columns so that I could generate a statement. It was a lot of trial and error, going back through notes and online, so that I could create my homework statements. Although I was able to run the statements on my vm, it doesn't mean that they are correct. I would say that it's going to still take me a fair amount of time to fully understand mysql conceptually. Interesting stuff but not the kind of thing I would like to do in huge amounts on the job.
