The book at home I have is entitled something like "Beginning Databases with MySQL". I'm happy with it. http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Databases-MySQL-Richard-Stones/dp/1861006926/ref=sr_1_1/105-0224235-8578830?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187026358&sr=8-1 Also, if you are in the continental US, you might check out www.half.com and search by MySQL. You can get several great used books for the price of one new book. Sometimes you can get lucky and get the books for something like $1 each plus shipping. Dave.
