Hi Paul, Thanks for the info, but is MySQL, Second Edition the same as the reference manual? The link you gave me has 3 books and none of them was the reference manual. Are you saying that I need the reference manual and then the Second Edition? I just purchased the Second Edition from Amazon.

Everyone needs the MySQL Reference Manual. If you're new to MySQL, then MySQL Cookbook may not be the best choice for a first book. A more general text is "MySQL, Second Edition". Some comparison information is available here: http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book-comparison.php Disclaimer: I wrote both books, so of course I know more about them than other author's books. I'm sure other people on this list will provide recommendations for which books they've found most helpful. > > >Thank you all in advance > >Ola -- Paul DuBois, Senior Technical Writer Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com Are you MySQL certified? http://www.mysql.com/certification/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
