I have both and the second edition is even better than the first. Highly

SQL is and should be known as a query language, not a product.
It should be perhaps clarified the first time it is used as
not refering to the Microsoft SQL Server product often mis-
named as 'SQL' itself (by people who don't know what SQL is).

Very well described by many other books; especially Oracle
certification books.

Well, it's not supposed to replace the manual by any means - it's just
supposed to offer novice-intermediate users a starting point to MySQL usage

Novice to intermediate users

I am planning to cover this, but in the latter sections of the book.
Fundamentally, my problem is with the Section 2 - I am not sure what level
of detail to go to in this section. Any assistance you or other list
members could provide would be very helpful :)

Thanks for your response,

Vikram

Re: MySQL book TOC

[Nasser Ossareh]

my 2 cents:

SQL in the "What is SQL?" phrase threw me... I thought
you were talking about MS SQL..

If I were you, I would explain relational databases
and normalization (at list to normal form III).

Usage?? well whoever goes to buy your book, must have
some ideas in head for the usage.. I don't think you
should waste trees on telling people things that don't
help them.

One Question: What makes this book different from the
MySQL manual?

Another Question: Who is your intended audience?

A suggestion: Think of substantial examples

How about performance? and Performance tuning?

Good luck

Maybe you come a little bit late: First there is an excellent manual out
(referenced in every list message footer - and now even in print) and on top
of that we already have the great books from Paul DeBois.


I would strongly recommend that you check out both sources before you start
writing. It might well be that topics such as subselects and other advanced
features  are not as well covered since they will be introduced in V 4.1 but
still there is plenty of general SQL books out here already.

But in any case I am as a single person don't define the market anyway thus
lets hear what others have to say. You certainly came to the right place to
find out.

Call me biased, but that and this...

Don't seem like the right combination.  Did you mean "not that
experienced writing about MySQL"?  Or are you really new to MySQL and
trying to write a book about it?

Re: MySQL Book by Dubois - Pg. 63 Tutorial Question

[DavidCraig]

You are correct.  It was a typo on my part.  I forgot to copy the AND in
the "AND event.event_id = score.event_id;"  The problem is the same and I
still receive an empty set message.  You are also correct that there are
events with the date of 1999-09-23.  TIA for any assistance.

Good try, but ... Bzzzt!  :-)

He only showed part of the table; there actually are records that
match 1999-09-23.

The real cause is more likely that there is a missing AND in the WHERE
clause, which should read:

WHERE date = "1999-09-23"
AND event.event_id = score.event_id

InnoDB type tables support foreign keys already in MySQL-3.23. See

http://www.innodb.com/todo.html.

The current source tree of 4.1 already does some SQL subqueries.

An inofficial timetable for stored procedures is 1 year.

I must say, I think this is rather short-sighted of your publisher.  I 
obviously do not speak for the MySQL folks but I don't think you should
write 
a book on product features which do not exist yet.

That said, it is often a better idea to move business logic out of the 
database and into another layer instead.  At my previous job, we had to
do 
this with MS SQL Server 2000 because the built-in triggers and foreign
keys 
and the like were simply too slow so we did it programatically instead.
Of 
course, we still used tranactions to ensure things were either all
committed 
or all rolled back.

In my opinion, this is the right approach to take with MySQL.

Yes, but good books are good books. This is a good
book.

I use SuSE 7.3, but get a lot of information from 2
books I favor written for SuSE 6.3.

I found that MySQL by Michael Kofler (Apress, ISBN 1-893115-57-7) was a
rather good and informative book.

RE: MySQL Book

[bill]

>> MySql & mSQL O'Reilly press isbn 1-56592-434-7
is probably the worst book about mysql.

Please note that the O'Reilly book was originally suppose to be about msql
but near the end of the project they noticed that mysql was gaining
popularity on msql so they threw in some information on
mysql.  Unfortunately it was too little, too late and didn't go through a
proper review cycle.

The second edition of the O'Reilly book is exclusively mysql and O'Reilly
has acknowledged the problems with the first book.  The 2nd edition should
be out sometime soon with a new title.

The best reference book on MySQL is still "MySQL" by Paul Dubois.
