I think you can make a flat database, but it would basically be a single 
table.  Imagine a spreadsheet and there you have the single table 
database.  Now if you mean flat file, like a series of small text files, 
you could also do that with a single table and a bunch of small text 
files stored as objects in that single table.

I have seen some beginning books on MySQL at Barnes & Noble.

I think I picked up this one in the book store and it looked pretty 
clear and concise.

No reviews up yet.
There are some basic books for people who have never created a database, 
but you have to look and sometimes they are labelled as intermediate.
