MySQL 5 certification books / trainign material
Good day everyone I think I have asked this question a while back but cant remember whether I have received an answer yet so I will ask again. I am busy studying for my MySQL certification exams, however the only book I have available to me is the MySQL 4 manual. The online pdf versions (for version 5.0 from the mysql website) seem to not be covering quite a bit of the info that is shown as requirements for the exam (or I am just being stupid and not finding it) My first exam is in 13 days and I have been struggling to find the relevant books or resources in order for me to get the study information I need. I tried Amazon,etc... but Amazon apparently does not deliver in SA anymore and the SA sites all show that the suppliers are out of stock. I managed to find one place today that had stock but shipment will take 25 working days which I do not have at this point. Does anybody know where I can get hold of a MySQL 5 certification study guide? Even if it is in pdf format or at this stage even if it has been used before. I would really appreciate the help with this as I can't even seem to get hold of someone at oracle to provide me with possible assistance as they all just say they don't know. Regards Machiel
good books or URL for mysql sql tunning
Hi All, Can u please guide me to any good books or URL for mysql sql tunning.. regards anandkl
Re: good books or URL for mysql sql tunning
Hi Anada, I recommend MySQL Database Design and Tuning by Robert Schineider. It covers everything from benchmark testing to Innodb Performance Enhancements. I'm 85% done with the book myself. It shows and explains good command-line and MySql Admin tool examples. The techniques discuss in this book are definitely key for large scaling applications.

Books on MySQL 5
As always, thanks ahead of time for all responses. The company I work for is currently looking at getting literature on MySQL 5, more specifically, what's different in new MySQL features from the SQL standard. By this I mean things such as Stored Procedures, Foreign Keys, and anything else I might have missed. I know there's: Beginning MySQL Database Design and Optimization: From Novice to Professional (Apress, 2004) And it does say it covers MySQL5, I'm just not sure to what extent. -- Chris White PHP Programmer/DB Virus Interfuel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Books on MySQL 5
Well I have the book you mentioned below - it is VERY good IMHO. Goes into alot of detail on how to design tables the right way. Covers normalisation and optimisation techniques for the server itself. These guys really know what they are talking about. I also have Beginning PHP MySQL 5, by Apress. This takes a look at the new features of MySQL 5, including triggers, views and stored procedures. Also covers MySQLi the new interface for MySQL. I've not read the whole book yet, but it seems to complement the above mentioned book very well. So I don't think you would go far wrong by getting these two books together. Regards Keith Roberts In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not.

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.

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.

RE: Books advice
Just to drop my $.02 in on this.. I started reading the 1st version of Pauls' MySQL book online a week or so back using my account over at 'Safari', once I read a little and decided that I was genuinely interested in this MySQL 'thing', I went over to Barnes and Noble with intentions of getting a hard copy of the 2nd edition of this book.. well.. I ended up leaving the store with a copy of 'Mastering MySQL' by Sybex instead. I returned that book yesterday and picked up the 2nd Edition of MySQL :-). I initially chose the 'Mastering MySQL' book pretty much due to one reason, and that the size of the MySQL' book was a little intimidating. But once I got home and started reading the Sybex book I realized why Pauls' book is so long, it is impossible to cover the amount of content necessary to get a good grasp for Mysql without using a lot of paper :-). The Sybex book made a lot of assumptions and didn't go into what I felt was very thorough detail on any subject (my idea is that this is a great book for the experienced DB admin), while Paul takes the time to explain each subject and every detail very thoroughly. Thanks Paul, I just started this book but I'm already very impressed.

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

Re: Books advice
It depends on what you want to know. I used _Fundamentals of Database Systems_ (Elmasri and Navathe) when I took a DB course. It was pretty good, though my impression is that there might be a classic which is better. The problem with the more MySQL-specific books is that you might not learn the more abstract aspects of database design. E.g. some MySQL literature seems to imply that keys and indexes are the same thing, which is not true. Also, a book like the one above will strongly emphasize what an ideal RDMS will adhere to, most importantly data integrity, especially referential integrity. Earlier editions of MySQL (including the one I'm using) don't actually enforce foreign key references. And judging from some things I see posted in this list, your DB design will be well-served by learning the fundamentals. I haven't read Celko's books, but my guess is that they're advanced, not foundational, and that you'd be better served by first looking at a foundational book. -S - Original Message - From: Fawad Siddiqui [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 8:05 PM Subject: Books advice Hi, I would like to learn about RDBMS, namely mysql of course, but know really nothing in this area, so have to learn about; RDBMS, SQL and mysql from scratch.

Hi I guess I will plug Paul's books. I have his MySQL book and his MySQL and Perl for the Web. I really enjoyed the second one but the MySQL book was very well written. I also have read Sam's teach yourself MySQL in 21 days which seemed pretty light weight and I never look up anything in it. I also have the MySQL reference manual which is great for really technical type questions.

RE: What are the best MySQL and PHP resource books?
Well, like others, I reccomend MySQL by Paul Dubois. It is my only MySQL book besides the copy of the MySQL reference manual provided by work. I have an associate that has PHP and MySQL web development by Sams, and it gives my any references I need for PHP. Looks like it is being updated on the 13th of Feb, so maybe wait for the next edition which I assume will cover the latest versions of both.

Re: What are the best MySQL and PHP resource books?
Hi Loren, THE book on MySQL is MySQL, by Paul DuBois. It's published by New Riders. They just came out with an updated version. The PHP book I have, which I would definitely recommend, is Professional PHP Programming, with several authors, published by Wrox press. They don't focus on IIS, rather they assume Apache, but beyond the initial setup and configuration I don't think it matters. -Lisi At 05:16 PM 2/1/03 -0500, Loren McDonald wrote: HI Before I just go out and buy, I wanted to get some opinions / advice on what you all think the best MySQL and PHP resource books are.

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?

Re: InnoDB books
Sean, since InnoDB development progresses rapidly, no book except the InnoDB online manual is fully up-to-date. The page http://www.innodb.com/books.html contains a link to Michael Kofler's MySQL book which treats InnoDB and BDB in appendixes. There is also a link to a recent Terra Lycos Webmonkey online article by Jay Greenspan about transactions in MySQL. I have not seen a copy of 'Core Mysql' by Leon Atkinson. Therefore I do not know how comprehensive the InnoDB coverage is in that book. From the contents I see there is a chapter on transactions in MySQL. Since the most important aspect in InnoDB is transactions and multiversion concurrency control, and those are close to Oracle, some general SQL books which are aware of Oracle might also help.

Re: MySQL books
The O'Reilly MySQL msql book is not bad, but then I bought Paul DuBois' book, and now I only use the command reference at the back of the O'Reilly book for quick lookups. I like the way it is layed out. Every other question relating to MySQL has been answered by Paul's book.

It will cost you another 2-3 days (based on 8 hours per day) to work your way through the book and all the examples.. but you will know most of the basics..

RE: MySQL books
I was at the store tonight. Did not see an O'Reilly book but believe I saw the book by Paul DuBois. There was also a book, one of the Teach Yourself (MySQL) in 21 Days, series. Anybody familiar with that one?

Anybody familiar with that one? 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. Wouldn't miss the O'Reilly book though. I'm not familiar with the Teach Yourself MySQL book. Paul's book took me 2 days..
