Re: book advice

[David Bailey]

Thanks all for the advice. It seems that no-one is recommending the book I
mentioned. I've now got Paul DuBois' book (unfortunately, it's the second
edition, but hope that's still okay). Looks rather large! But it also looks
very clear.

Hi David;

I can recommend any Paul Dubois books but especially the

Certificate study guide which basically is free if  you consider taking
the exam. The book comes with a 50$ voucher for the exam if I remmember
that correctly + it is one of the best books to get up and running as fast
as possible.

Best regards

 Hi,

 I'm a newbie and looking for a book to help me learn mysql. I have come
 across a book called Beginning MySQL by Robert Sheldon and Geoff Moes.

 Can anyone recommend this book? Or, if not, what book can you recommend
 for
 a newbie.

 David

If there is a big college near you they might have IT courses for
working professionals, I mean introductory courses on database design
and SQL. Then good MYSQL books will just crystallize for you when read
them. My 2 cents...

I always recommend Paul Dubois' New Riders Book:

Paul's probably lurking on the list. I bought the 1999 edition and I
still refer to it :)

[Spenser]

Check out MySQL Tutorial by Luke Welling (MySQL Press).  It's easy to
understand and not overwhelming.

Thanks for the recommendation!
For new readers, I'd recommend the third edition (2005). :-)
