Review
"...MySQL Cookbook tells you exactly how to solve literally hundreds of problems that you are likely to encounter in getting a MySQL database solution up and running." - Computer Trade Shopper, November 2003
Product Description
While MySQL has turned up among high profile users such as Yahoo!, NASA and the U.S. Census Bureau, the rising popularity of this open source database is especially keen among users with little database experience. These days, even a small organization or web site has uses for a database, and MySQL is an obvious choice. Affordable and easy to use, MySQL packs the power, speed and efficiency that enable it to rival expensive, proprietary database solutions. Yet, even if you know the basics, anyone without practical MySQL experience--novices and skilled DBAs alike--might stumble over common database-related tasks. Fortunately, there's a sensible shortcut.
MySQL Cookbook provides a unique problem-and-solution format that offers practical examples for everyday programming dilemmas. For every problem addressed in the book, there's a worked-out solution or "recipe"--short, focused pieces of code that you can insert directly into your applications. But MySQL Cookbook is more than a collection of cut-and-paste code. You also get explanations of how and why the code works, so you can learn to adapt the techniques to similar situations.
The book covers a lot of ground. Solutions for typical MySQL dilemmas range from simple ways to find all records that contain a given string, to more difficult problems, such as finding matching/non-matching records in two tables. Whether you use MySQL on Unix, Linux, Windows or the Mac OS X platform, the book will show you how to:
- Import data from external sources
- Export data for use by external programs
- Access MySQL from your web server
- Use scripts with MySQL to read queries from a file
- Access MySQL from within client programs that use Perl, PHP, Java, Python and other languages
- Construct queries that solve commonly-occurring questions
- Interact with the server

Great Book,
By
This review is from: MySQL Cookbook (Paperback)
It is not for the complete beginner, but you don't have to be too far off to get some real benefit from using this book.
The discussions about why you would use a particular technique are excellent too. In my opinion it is great. I bought it and I am still using it.

Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin,
This review is from: MySQL Cookbook (Paperback)
A few pages past the table of contents, I had solved two issues that had been bugging me since my last install. It was pretty minor stuff, but could I as heck find the answers online. It just shows what research, presentation, and quality control can achieve. So, another score for books over bytes.
The layout is uncluttered, and you can usually get the gist without reading through pages of preamble and exposition. The examples are practical and adaptable (no long and complex routines found on some sites) so they can almost be cut and pasted into your own applications. As your applications develop, there's always something else you can add. The only downside is that it's a book - a few mods to MySQL and you might have to fork out for the next revision. Still, I should have got my money's worth by then.

Good book, recommanded,
By
This review is from: MySQL Cookbook (Paperback)
I like the style of the book which tackles the problems encountered rather than introducing theories chapter by chapter.
The reason I gave it a 4 is that it didn't cover some more advanced skills for database admin such as database management and securities.
