I haven't read Managing and Using MySQL, but I do own (and read cover to cover) MySQL and mSQL. While it's not a bad book, it's definitely not for anyone wanting to do anything serious. It's about 460 pages that covers *two* databases, plus references for half a dozen APIs, which means they skim most topics.
If you've never touched MySQL, then it's an excellent introduction. If you're trying to do serious work, and you're already familiar with it, try another one. With that said: > 2) Tell me how to set up usernames and passwords for MySQL. I was having similar problems that you've had (I'm very much still a beginner), and the reply sent by jaydrake <at> inthecastle <dot> com worked very well for me.
