-- 1) Get a base understanding of what a database is (Google, Wikipedia)
--
-- 2) Learn what a RDBMS is (Relational Database Management System)
--
-- 3) Learn what a 'normal form' is.
--
-- 4) Read an easy to read 'primer' book. I suggest this book:
--
-- [MySQL Crash course by Ben Forta, Sams publishing
-- ISBN: 0-672-32712-0][1]
--
-- 5) Download + Install MySQL and read through the documentation. It
-- comes with a help file that should help you out. Use whatever book
-- you have to go through the base examples and learn. Ideally whatever
-- book you have will walk you through the concepts with very clear and
-- explicit examples.
