No, it is not. You have basically two ways of how to work with mySQL (or
even other SQL databases) in general - 1) direct access - it would require
Rebol to have mySQL "driver" inside, but it is not the case even with Linux
Command. You could also use Command's ability to call libraries ... 2) some
of SQL database servers listen on TCP port, which is the case with mySQL
too.
So - nenad has created mySQL TCP scheme. You can use it with Core for free
of course. The question is - how fast it can be in comparison to PHP based
solutions. You have to remember though, that you can run Core only in form
of CGI, as Rebol Apache module is not released yet ....
As for learning mySQL in particular - I don't know .... If you are already
familiar with database systems in general - should not be much of a problem
imo. Other case is if you would like to set-up and maintain mySQL server
yourself ....
