In addition to the various MySQL mailing lists and forums, you can find experienced community people
on Internet Relay Chat (IRC). These are the best networks/channels currently known to us:
freenode (see http://www.freenode.net/forservers)
• #mysql is primarily for MySQL questions, but other database and generał SQL questions are
welcome. Ouestions about PHP, Perl, orC in combination with MySQL are also common.
If you are looking for IRC Client software to connect to an IRC network, take a look at xChat. (http://
www.xchat.org/). X-Chat (GPL licensed) is available for Unix as well as for Windows platforms (a free Wndows build of X-Chat is available at http://www.silverex.org/download/).
