Product Description

Product Description

When you need to find the right SQL keyword or MySQL client command-line option right away, turn to this convenient reference, known for the same speed and flexibility as the system it covers so thoroughly. MySQL is packed with so many capabilities that the odds of remembering a particular function or statement at the right moment are pretty slim. With MySQL in a Nutshell, you get the details you need, day in and day out, in one concise and extremely well organized book.

The new edition contains all the commands and programming information for version 5.1, including new features and language interfaces. It's ideal for anyone using MySQL, from novices who need to get up to speed to advanced users who want a handy reference. Like all O'Reilly Nutshell references, it's easy to use and highly authoritative, written by the editor of the MySQL Knowledge Base at MySQL AB, the creator and owner of MySQL.

Inside, you'll find:

  • A thorough reference to MySQL statements, functions, and administrative utilities
  • Several tutorial chapters to help newcomers get started
  • Programming language APIs for PHP, Perl, and C
  • Brief tutorials at the beginning of each API chapter to help anyone, regardless of experience level, understand and master unfamiliar territory
  • New chapters on replication, triggers, and stored procedures
  • Plenty of new examples of how MySQL is used in practice
  • Useful tips to help you get through the most difficult subjects
Whether you employ MySQL in a mission-critical, heavy-use environment or for applications that are more modest, this book puts a wealth of easy-to-find information at your fingertips, saving you hundreds of hours of trial and error and tedious online searching. If you're ready to take advantage of everything MySQL has to offer, MySQL in a Nutshell has precisely what it takes.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This has had extensive use in the last few months, as I have been creating a web site from scratch. It is best used in conjunction with Google, as there are both formal documentation and a lot of examples available there.

There is an error on pages 32 and 33 - the TEXT_FIELDS function mentioned doesn't exist without additional plugins, that are not part of the standard mysql distribution.

im currently studing IT on a degree course and as i had the same book borrowed from the school library, i knew it was written on high standard. even though i borrowed the newer version, i decided to buy this one - price decided it for me, but i can't say there is big difference in these two versions (the newer comes with couple new features built into the newer MySQL, but you still get all you need for building solid and powerful code in MySQL). i would definitely suggest buying the book - as a reference book it is published by O'Reilly and let's all be honest - they are the best ones for books of this kind. thanks

I ordered this book mostly to refer to example SQL code, ranging from basic to complex queries. This book demonstrates and explains each example clearly (with drawn tables). Would definitely recommend it to those who wish to learn SQL. I received this item quickly and was amazed at the condition of the book. The item description warned of minor bookshelf wear but you could almost class the book as brand new. Extremely happy with it and would definitely purchase from the seller again.
