I agree :-)
The MySQL documentation will probably suit your needs fine

If I were to do it over again rather than focusing on learning MySQL  
I would say try and master Structured Query Language (the SQL of  
MySQL) that way you will pick your database based on your projects  
database expectations.

There are times when MySQL is fantastic, but I also have projects  
where it simply wouldn't do. YMMV
