Is this already covered under the various other sections (PHP, ASP, etc)? Thinking that since SQL functions are generic across languages (?) that a single Database forum might be in order.

Well, alot of us tend to roll our MySQL questions into the PHP forum. A totally seperate forum would be nice for getting right to the meat of the more common db questions but I think it would be more of a resource forum rather than an active one. But who knows...

For those of us who haven't done anything with a database for 15+ years - and who would like to update skills (hah, update?, a 15 year old skill set is something out of the ancient past and pretty much totally useless) - a specific forum would be great :)

I think a db forum is a good idea.

Definitely a good idea. I understand how relational databases work, in fact I took a specific class in it years ago - but setting up the structure and implementing and integrating one into an application with today's availabilities is a different story entirely. There's definitely a need and no resource really available except for tutorials out there and books.

Database design, integration, and user interface is a super-secret arcane science only to be passed down from parent to child, master to apprentice through years of toil in towers perilous and never ever to be revealed on pain of loss of income ...
Yes please. Pretty please. With pink icing. And a cherry on top.

And I.... I have little hope of scratching even the surface without somewhere I can ask a question and get an answer!

Count me in... I found it odd that there wasn't one to begin with.

Me too, IMHO WebmasterWorld would be much more organised and clustered if we seperate the db related questions from the programming ones and plus it would make the task of browsing through some of the old-but-un-outdated-db-related-info much easier.
Is it a yes, Brett?

I'm in. And a website performance optimization forum too.
