Dear all, Thank you very much for all your responses.
I have settled on the at least one book, SQL Queries for Mere Mortals: A Hands-On Guide to Data Manipulation in SQL by Michael J. Hernandez, John L. Viescas. I would, however, ask Paul to recommend one from his list of numerous titles, that he feels would give me the best possible entry in to the wonders of MySQL. Rest assured Paul I would like to reach an administrative level understanding of MySQL, with options of programming in the future. Hope this helps in deciding a title. Many thanks people, and to Paul in advance for his attention. Sincerely, Fawad
