Hi all, I have been using mysql from last few years but for small projects only, recently i have been on to some good projects, I want toknow what is the best coding practices for mysql to kee it fast etc. I mean in mine earlier post one friend told me that size upto 4 GB can be achieved with Mysql. I want to know: 1)Which is better a long table in terms of nos. of columns or use join and increase the columns. eg. in simple registration site we have 20 columns , we should use it in same table or use it in two diff. tables. 2)To use indexes to the maximum or restrain its use. 3)etc.
Pl. point me to good advanced tutorial of mysql. Also is there any certification of mysql, php etc. Thanks, Abhishek Jain
