I always recommend:
MySQL by Paul Dubois for the MySQL side and
Database Design for Mere Mortals for db design (it's better than the title
might sound). Very good in fact.

I'm a recent student but I sold back my DB text in hopes I'd never have to
know the stuff again (I guess that $20 wasn't worth it). The current book
my old prof is using is:
Introduction to Database Systems, 7th Edition by C.J. Date.
but since I don't know if that's the one I used I don't
finished University nearly two years ago, but back then, this book was the
one we used too - very in depth introduction to general database theory,
well worth investing in if you need very well designed databases for large
volume applications.
all the best,

Hi,
I am searching for a good book on how to design a db for web apps.
Normalisation rools, performancejust describing how to do it on a

The second one, I am searching for is a book about SQL for MySQL. Any good
books on the market?
Thanx for the recommendation
Andy
Any O'Reilly book is always a good choice. O'Reilly is the publisher - they

animals on them, if that helps :-)

The reference work on MySQL is by Paul DuBois (who often stops by here - hi Paul)
and published by New Riders.
Unfortunately none of my favorite texts (of the
I found Sams teach yourself MySQL in 21 days to be very helpful. It
provides some general db practices such as structure and normalization.
And it covers MySQL pretty well, with examples for mutiple languages.
