Hi everyone, Long time reader, first time poster.
I've been using MySQL for some years now and never really did any advance stuff in it. I mainly do updates, deletes, and selects. My selects aren't even that complex as I don't have a very good understanding of the join syntax and exactly what it does. I was wondering a few things. First of all what is a good book for beginners/intermediate level people? I'd really like to learn more complex query structure and how to optimize a database as a whole as well as individual tables in the database (example what's the difference between a primary key and just a regular key in a table?). I'm also looking for something that can explain stored procedures and why they are useful (I really don't have any clue about stored procedures) as well as transactions, replication, and master/slave databases. Finally, I'd like to figure out the difference between each table type (MyISM and InnoDB etc).
Thanks for any help or advice! jay -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
