Hi Machiel,


First of all, obligatory disclaimer: Until 2007, I was in charge of the

MySQL certification exams. I'm also co-author of the book I'm about to

recommend, but I receive no sales royalties. All of which means that I'm

biased and my knowledge may be a bit rusty, but hopefully still useful :-)



The best resource for self-study ought to be the MySQL 5 Certification

Study Guide,

http://www.amazon.com/MySQL-5-0-Certification-Study-Guide/dp/0672328127/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262596558&sr=8-1



The book has received very favorable feedback from those doing

self-studying for the certification exams. Along with the book you get a

number of self-study questions to help you check whether you have

understood the material. The questions are open-ended/discussion questions,

not multiple-choice like on the exams.



Also make sure to read the candidate guide on the mysql web site before

you go to the exam. It has a lot of valuable hints.



Best of luck on the exam!



/ Carsten
