Re: mysql Digest 24 Jun 2001 00:58:59 -0000 Issue 1353
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good book on MySQL SQL? What about PerlDBI (I noticed that the O'Reilly one is over a year old)? Stay as far away from the O'Reilly book as possible. MySQL and mSQL was really just an mSQL book until a few months before publication when O'Reilly noticed that MySQL was far more popular at that time, so they scrambled and tossed in some stuff for MySQL. It's one of the few O'Reilly books in my collection that was a big disappointment. The *best* book on MySQL that I have ever seen is MySQL by Paul Dubois (New Riders, publisher). Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735709211/o/qid=993401518/sr=2-1/ref=aps_sr_b_1_1/102-6228011-7382510 Paul has a new book that should be available shortly (Amazon says August 13) titled MySQL and Perl for the Web that covers both MySQL and perl (DBI). Having read it, I would say that this book is an excellent tutorial type book that will go hand in hand with MySQL (a reference book) mentioned previously. Amazon.com's link for MySQL and Perl for the Web: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735710546/qid=993401594/sr=1-6/ref=sc_b_6/102-6228011-7382510 P.S. I would have given bookpool.com links since they usually have better prices, however their site appears to be down this morning. If you are going to buy your books online, I would suggest visiting bookpool.com first. -Bill - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
