I very much disagree with the suggestion that any sort of training is needed or useful. The fastest way (IMHO) to gain the knowledge to become a solid MySQL DBA is to answer questions on #mysql and to read planet mysql. There are very few people than understand MySQL well. After 6 months of

The term DBA is very broad and I think most DBA's do at least some development and if they have *nix platform they probably look after that too. Some, including myself, get heavily involved in the applications running on their db. So long as you can quickly identify and solve database issues,

Reference is everywhere, but you need a sort of starting point. In your case I would say get this bookhttp://www.amazon.com/MySQL-4th-Paul-DuBois/dp/0672329387/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1279043056sr=1-1 and read: - Part III - Part IV-D (quick read) You will benefit from Part I as

You might want to see if there are any online classes that could get you started. I usually start by reading a big, thick book -- but I've found that spending a week or two on an introductory-level online class gives me a big head start. Modern documentation tends to be lacking (IMNSHO). All

Sorry, I wish I did. I've used courses at lvsonline.com for all kinds of things (programming, graphics, etc.), but I didn't see anything about MySQL DBA. All of the courses I took there were good. They all had lab work that you submitted to the instructor. DBA might not lend itself to that.
