Ch. 3 - create and populate a database

The example in chapter 3 discussed making a database and using it to email a mass message to every person in the database.

Things Learned:
-Data in database needs to be define
-Text data type takes up the most memory to store
-VARCHAR is for data type that might not have a exact number of characters
-CHAR is for data type that you know will have an exact number of characters

I am still working through the chapter. Also, I am still trying to set up my computer to run a local server and MySQL so that I can perform the given examples.
