Product Description

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 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Along with MySQL's popularity has come a flood of questions about solving specific problems, and that's where this Cookbook is essential. Designed as a handy resource when you need quick solutions or techniques, the book offers dozens of short, focused pieces of code and hundreds of worked-out examples for programmers of all levels who don't have the time (or expertise) to solve MySQL problems from scratch. The new edition covers MySQL 5.0 and its powerful new features, as well as the older but still widespread MySQL 4.1. One major emphasis of this book is how to use SQL to formulate queries for particular kinds of questions, using the mysql client program included in MySQL distributions. The other major emphasis is how to write programs that interact with the MySQL server through an API. You'll find plenty of examples using several language APIs in multiple scenarios and situations, including the use of Ruby to retrieve and format data. There are also many new examples for using Perl, PHP, Python, and Java as well. Other recipes in the book teach you to: access data from multiple tables at the same time; use SQL to select, sort, and summarize rows; find matches or mismatches between rows in two tables; determine intervals between dates or times, including age calculations; store images into MySQL and retrieve them for display in web pages; get LOAD DATA to read your data files properly or find which values in the file are invalid; use strict mode to prevent entry of bad data into your database; copy a table or a database to another server; generate sequence numbers to use as unique row identifiers; create database events that execute according to a schedule; and a lot more. "MySQL Cookbook" doesn't attempt to develop full-fledged, complex applications. Instead, it's intended to assist you in developing applications yourself by helping you get past problems that have you stumped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin, 14 May 2008

By	Ian Hiles "Unpublished hack" (UK) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches you SQL, 31 Mar 2006

By	"darreninlondon" - See all my reviews

This review is from: MySQL Cookbook (Paperback)

Explains by example so many common queries you'll be able to solve a wide variety of problems instantly. SQL is a deceptively deep language and getting to grips with this small army of queries gives you the basics to build on.

Easy reading and sensible examples. Some omissions (insert) but it's not the complex stuff - that part is really taught well.
