Using the MySQL Cookbook with Entrance
Paul DuBois, the author of the MySQL Cookbook, publishes the examples from his book in a zip file on his web site: http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-cookbook/ You can easily add them to the Entrance explorer tree to study as you read the cookbook..
When you download and unzip the cookbook zip file, you will have a directory named 'recipes'. Use File | Add folder ... to add it to the explorer tree, and all of the cookbook queries and directories will be available in the Entrance explorer tree each time you run the program:
Open a query by double clicking it. Run it by clicking the "Run" button: Jump back and forth between a query and its text output, by clicking on the "SQL" and "Results" tabs.
Be sure to try "Paste from clipboard ring..." for copying and pasting between the cookbook examples and your own queries. There are other tips for using the Entrance editor on the Editor Gems page.
