call for spec suggestions

[Uwe Geercken]

I would recommend to anyone, who wants to learn a database, to start  
on the console. same as for learning html, jave, etc. you can always  
switch to a GUI at a later point of time in the process but at the  
start it is important to learn the bascis and not have a tool do the  
work.

mysql is very good for that from my experience.

rgds,

uwe
