The DuBois book is a good start: http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/ -Original Message- From: Jay Paulson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 10:56 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Newbie needs info! Hi everyone, Long time reader, first time poster. I've been using MySQL for some years now and never really did any advance stuff in it. I mainly do updates, deletes, and selects. My selects aren't even that complex as I don't have a very good understanding of the join syntax and exactly what it does. I was wondering a few things. First of all what is a good book for beginners/intermediate level people? I'd really like to learn more complex query structure and how to optimize a database as a whole as well as individual tables in the database (example what's the difference between a primary key and just a regular key in a table?). I'm also looking for something that can explain stored procedures and why they are useful (I really don't have any clue about stored procedures) as well as transactions, replication, and master/slave databases. Finally, I'd like to figure out the difference between each table type (MyISM and InnoDB etc).

Jay There's a short list of SQL relational tutorials at http://www.artfulsoftware.com/dbresources.html, and of a few MySQL resources at http://www.artfulsoftware.com/mysqlinfo.html.
