Before going through *the trouble* perhaps some database research should
have happened? Anyway, it's a little cart-before-the-horse, but here are a
few links that should help:

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/13/index0a.html

and http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/backend/databases/index.html --
both good, beginning introductions

http://www.devshed.com/ also has some nice tutorials and articles under the
PHP and MySQL areas.

It's apparently down right at the moment, but I have also used some of the
tutorials at http://webmasterbase.com/

And, for how structured query language works (whether MySQL or other) --
http://w3.one.net/~jhoffman/sqltut.htm

Once you have learned about database design, you will be able to make use
of that database and hopefully move forward on your project.
