Hi,
I just finished reading "High Performance MySQL". Congratulations to the authors, it's a great book and I enjoyed reading it. Would be great if someone now started to write "MySQL Internals" ;-)
I actually do have a fairly long chapter on that subject in "MySQL Enterprise Solutions". Additionally, I wrote the optimizer discussion while periodically peeking at the code. But I agree, having a dedicated book on it would be nice. The biggest problem I see is that it is so much easier to sell a book that talks about MySQL from the DBA or application programmer's point of view than the one that would go into the details of how things work inside. So I imagine it would be difficult to get a publisher interested. But as far as I am concerned, I would be willing if the opportunity presented itself. If somebody could find a good way to sell it, I would write it.
