Re: Recommendation on god MySQL books
Get the recently published book from Jeremy Zawodny. It's excellent. Very easy to understand and goes through all the admin stuff. It has a chapter dedicated to replication and explains in simple concise steps how to set up replication. It demonstrates many different types of replication configurations from simple master-slave to multi-master/multi-slave configurations. It also has excellent material on backup strategies and much more. The book is called "High Performance MySQL" and published by O'Reilly . really great book. I bought mine on Amazon. It is aimed at intermediate to advanced users. Read the Amazon comments and feedback for more details. -Kieran Config = OS X 10.3.4 / Java 1.4.2 / WO 5.2.3 / XCode v1.2 / MySQL 4.0.20 / Connector-J 3.0.11 Blog: http://webobjects.webhop.org/ On Jun 17, 2004, at 1:44 PM, Bartis, Robert M (Bob) wrote: I'm looking for suggestions on books that would help me to improve my understanding of MySQL operations, admin operations, replication etc. I'm new to MySQL and am about to embark on supporting a database for my team to use in recording test results.

Re: Recommendation on god MySQL books
When I first started, I bought MySQL by Paul DuBois. It covers the basics to admin responsibilities and preventive maintenance. But, you may want to search the archives, this question has been asked many times before.

Re: Recommendation on god MySQL books
God doesn't use MySQL (I think he leans towards Postgres - he needs views and triggers). But if you are interested in MySQL, Paul DuBois's book, "MySQL, Second Edition" is a great reference. If you need more insight into performance tuning, then Jeremy Zawodny and Derek Balling's book, "High Performance MySQL", can be very helpful. Both are up to date.

newbie stuff: good mysql books?
Greets Folks, I have been wanting to get into data driven sites for the longest time, and I can do some immediate level work in them using perl, but my understanding is still not comprehensive enough for whatever it is I want to do (subconsciously). I sense there is some need to pursue database design better, and an overall book on system's design might be good too. I've read MySQL and Perl for the Web by Paul, and Programming with CGI.pm, and both helped a lot. But there is some sort of a want to work specifically with the database more, especially design for largescale systems development, and I am just wondering what books might be good for this purpose?

I would go for Paul's book (he should pay me for everytime I refer to his book :)) If you're starting with MySQL his book is great, explains how to connect with MySQL from C, Perl and PHP.
