If that's my book, it sounds like the third edition. The fourth edition is more recent. http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/ Yes, I've just checked I have the third edition. I'll probably keep my copy (I'm not a particularly heavy user of MySQL) but would recommend anybody looking for a book to get the 4th edition rather than the 3rd -- TTFN.
