mysql> show tables;

I did it, a couple of mistakes, which I fixed, but I created my first table in MySQL and inserted information into another previously created. We had to create a table of email addresses and information about two people. I used characters from ブリーチ (Bleach), yeah really -- I am such a nerd. I was so nervous, irrationally so, that I made stupid mistakes, more like typos, but one was a learning experience as I did not know if I could list more than one variable at once. In the end I was most pleased with myself that I did not freak out and my table works -- it was only a table after all, but I always have a "moment" when I start a new programming experience.
