Learning databases through selecting stars

Help me find a tool which helps you learn how to use databases through selecting stars.

I seem to remember seeing a tool about 18 month ago which helped you learn how to use databases through selecting stars - you'd run a query on particular star types, and it would show you which ones you had selected. I think it was a downloadable application for Windows, and there were various exercises you could complete.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? If not, alternative solutions for learning MySQL which allow you to run queries and see the results graphically much appreciated.

Response by poster: Yes! Gosh I had quite a few of the details wrong... Thanks o0dano0o!

Any other recommendations for similar tools, or indeed other resources for learning MySQL, still very welcome.

Best answer: sorry ... I don't think that was it.

I think it was galaxql, which can be found H E R E !

And it rocked

Response by poster: Actually jannw, you're right - but I had seen both of these systems around the same time and they seem to have merged in my mind :-)

Thanks both!
