How can I create a database that...

pulls in data from Google trends and stores it on a daily basis. I would also like to be able to add a list of keywords every week or so and have the database basically cross analyze the trend info with the keywords so I can find out which keywords have been in G's trends. Ideally, I would also like to get this info from Yahoo Buzz and eBay pulse as well.

I haven't worked with MySQL at all so I don't even know how to start doing this. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

This is a brilliant idea! I wouldn't have though of it-- someone else does my marketing/research. I'll have to suggest it to them. What's yahoo buzz and ebay pulse? More market research tools?

I read recently that MySQL is popular for data mining amongst the Internet leaders, such as Facebook and Craigslist. I have no idea if this means it can be used to do all of the things you list though. This is why I leave such matters to others to organise for me.
