The very fine manual is not distributed in PDF format, because it's much too big in this format. However, you may get your copy without upgrading your software. Just get the latest mysql-3.23.45.tar.gz, unzip, untar, go to the mysql-3.23.45 directory and type: me@host:~/mysql-3.23.45> ./configure to create the Makefiles. Then go to the Docs/ directory and me@host:~/mysql-3.23.45/Docs> make manual.pdf ... and have a cup of coffee. You need the GNU TeX-info and pdftex (available from the teTeX package). In case all else fails I put a copy of the manual in PDF format on: http://www.polyreg.ch/ssl/misc/mysqlmanual/ To use the manual on the screen without printing I recommend the pinfo viewer (ver 6.3) and mysql.info This provides for the ease of lynx and the speed of light.
