101 on using the Content Store needed - Looking for CS equivalent to PHP/MySQL func.

[Harald Mueller]

Hello everybody,
I am looking for some very basic examples on how to add, delete, alter objects in the NING Content Store.

Generally I want to store some custom data/objects in my network, e.g. products. So, since I am very familiar with PHP/MySQL I would query something like this the PHP way:

Create object/table
$sql="CREATE TABLE products (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100),
category VARCHAR(100),
price VARCHAR(20)
)";
mysql_query();

To store data in my new object I would do this in conventional PHP manner

$sql="Insert into 'products' (..) Values (..)";
You probably know what I mean.

Same applies to alter, delete and update.

Now I would like to know if there is an equivalent to NING's Content Store and what it would be like?

Is there any tutorial for it?

i don't know of a tutorial - the reference section has some good writeups.
i'm going to be coding some stuff in the next few weeks and will probably have a better answer for you then. for now you might want to look at the php apis for accessing the content object at
