I'm willing to learn, but I need specific and unambiguous instructions because I've never done it before, and I'd rather not crash the server (or even slow it down substantially).

Any ideas for good places to go to start learning? Or anyone willing to explain to a newbie?

I'd like to point out that every sysop here (and that's over 15% of active users, as someone pointed out) can make SELECT queries to the database, which is all that's necessary for getting any kind of information you need. I'd like to encourage more users to learn how to do this, and encourage those who already do know how to help them.
