Well I have the book you mentioned below - it is VERY good IMHO. Goes into alot of detail on how to design tables the right way. Covers normalisation and optimisation techniques for the server itself. These guys really know what they are talking about.
I also have Beginning PHP & MySQL 5, by Apress. This takes a look at the new features of MySQL 5, including triggers, views and stored procedures. Also covers MySQLi the new interface for MySQL. I've not read the whole book yet, but it seems to complement the above mentioned book very well. So I don't think you would go far wrong by getting these two books together. Regards Keith Roberts In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not.
