Product Description
The implementation of stored procedures in MySQL 5.0 a huge milestone - one that is expected to lead to widespread enterprise adoption of the already extremely popular MySQL database. If you are serious about building the web-based database applications of the future, you need to get up to speed quickly on how stored procedures work - and how to build them the right way. This book, destined to be the bible of stored procedure development, is a resource that no real MySQL programmer can afford to do without. In the decade since MySQL burst on the scene, it has become the dominant open source database, with capabilities and performance rivaling those of commercial RDBMS offerings like Oracle and SQL Server. Along with Linux and PHP, MySQL is at the heart of millions of applications. And now, with support for stored procedures, functions, and triggers in MySQL 5.0, MySQL offers the programming power needed for true enterprise use. MySQL's new procedural language has a straightforward syntax, making it easy to write simple programs. But it's not so easy to write secure, easily maintained, high-performance, and bug-free programs. Few in the MySQL world have substantial experience yet with stored procedures, but Guy Harrison and Steven Feuerstein have decades of combined expertise. In "MySQL Stored Procedure Programming", they put that hard-won experience to good use. Packed with code examples and covering everything from language basics to application building to advanced tuning and best practices, this highly readable book is the one-stop guide to MySQL development. It consists of four major sections: MySQL stored programming fundamentals - tutorial, basic statements, SQL in stored programs, and error handling; Building MySQL stored programs - transaction handling, built-in functions, stored functions, and triggers; MySQL stored programs in applications - using stored programs with PHP, Java, Perl, Python, and .NET (C# and VB.NET); and, Optimizing MySQL stored programs - security, basic and advanced SQL tuning, optimizing stored program code, and programming best practices. A companion web site contains many thousands of lines of code, that you can put to use immediately. Guy Harrison is Chief Architect of Database Solutions at Quest Software and a frequent speaker and writer on MySQL topics. Steven Feuerstein is the author of "Oracle PL/SQL Programming", the classic reference for Oracle stored programming for more than ten years. Both have decades of experience as database developers, and between them they have authored a dozen books.

From the Publisher
MySQL Stored Procedure Programming covers a lot of ground. The book starts with a thorough introduction to stored procedures programming and functions, covering the fundamentals of data types, operators, and using SQL in stored procedures. You'll learn how to build and maintain stored programs -- covering transactions, stored functions, and triggers -- and how to call and use MySQL-based stored procedures in a variety of languages, including PHP, Perl, Python, .NET, and Java. This book, destined to be the bible of stored procedure development, is a resource that no real MySQL programmer can afford to do without.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   11 of 12 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and authoritative, 5 May 2006 By  Andrew Stribblehill (Durham, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I was somewhat reluctant to review this mighty tome when I saw that it weighed in at 636 pages, but I'm very glad I did. My initial impressions were unfavourable: there were some annoying typos even before I'd reached Page 1. Nevertheless, the book quickly gets into its stride and covers a huge amount of information before packing the reader off to tame the wilds of stored procedure programming. The book is structured in four parts: Stored programming Fundamentals, Stored Program Construction, Using MySQL Stored Programs in Applications and Optimising Stored Programs. The 150-page introductory section gives a brief tutorial on the subject: it's comprehensive enough that you can be productive from just this section. Part II is much more of a reference manual, covering stored procedures, stored functions, triggers, views and transactions. I fully expect to make most use of this when I develop stored programs. Part III covers the interaction between stored programs and a few popular programming environments (Perl, PHP, Python, Java and .NET). Other than handling stored procedures' facility for returning multiple tables, these chapters could easily have been found in a general book on MySQL. Part IV shows how to make stored programs fast. It is an excellent primer for SQL optimisation in MySQL as well as the other aspects of performance that impinge on stored programs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to anyone who uses MySQL, either as a knowledgable amateur or professionally. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
