Product Description

Product Description

This is the official guide to passing the two MySQL certification tests for MySQL 5, the long-awaited major revision of MySQL. The number of MySQL certification exams taken has doubled in the last six months.

 

Certcities.com lists the MySQL certification as one of the top 10 certifications to grow in 2005. MySQL professionals need a way to distinguish themselves from the vast majority of database administrators and developers. With more than 4 million active installations, MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. Known for its speed, reliability and case of use, MySQL has become a low-cost alternative to expensive database systems such as Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. MySQL AB has aggressively improved the feature set of MySQL with MySQL 5, making it more suitable for enterprise-level applications and uses. The MySQL certification tests, available at over 3,000 PearsonVUE testing centers, is a key component of this enterprise growth strategy, establishing a base level of skills for database users, administrators and programmers.

 

The MySQL Core Certification is aimed at the database user who wants proof of his or her abilities in such fundamental areas as SQL, data entry and maintenance, and data extraction. The MySQL Professional Certification test is designed for the advanced user who wants to prove his or her knowledge in such areas as database management, installation, security, disaster prevention and optimization. Both tests are thoroughly covered in the MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide. Written by Paul DuBois, the leading author of books on MySQL topics, and reviewed for technical accuracy by MySQL AB, this book is the fastest, most reliable way for MySQL users, developers, and administrators to prepare for either of the MySQL tests.

This should be a definite purchase for anyone taking the MySQL 5 exams. Other than highlighting the areas tested by the exams, it also gives good advice on how to prepare, what to expect and which parts of the MySQL website you should be familiar with. My use was limited to the developer exam only however it also covers the administrator exam should that be your goal. The certification format has changed since MySQL 4.x so get the heads up with this must have book.

This book is absolutely essential reading if you're to take the MySQL certification. In fact, although it's always wise to read around a topic from as many sources as possible, I don't believe anybody would have a problem passing the exam using this book alone. It's written in clear, non-ambiguous language and all examples are explained - a real rarity as far as technical books are concerned.

I've study DBA part and just review Developer part exams. I have to said that I pass both exams in 2 weeks time thanks to that book. First of all if you going to prepare for exam don't ignore DVD included. Chapters are quite detailed, but remember that every word could be important on exams. If you will read that book, have same previous experience with MySQL 5 and you will do review with official documentation you should be fine on exam.
Second very important usage for me is comprehensive knowledge source that referring to DBA work with MySQL. There are very few books out there doing same. I really like it as guide not only to pass Sun MySQL 5 DBA cert, but also as good printed reference for solving many issues you may find being MySQL DBA.
As I said.. I didn't look to much into dev exams, but it looks that quality is consistent so I may only recommend it as good lecture
