Product Description

MySQL 5 is slated to be the most significant release in the product's history. The Definitive Guide to MySQL 5, Third Edition, is the newest revision of Michael Kofler's popular book. This is the first book to offer in-depth instruction about the new features of the world's most popular open source database server. Updated to reflect changes in MySQL version 5, this book will expose you to MySQL's impressive array of new features: views, stored procedures, triggers, and spatial data types. Whether you're a novice or intermediate user, you will benefit from extensive coverage of core MySQL features like user administration, basic and advanced querying, and security. You will also be introduced to several standard and third-party tools, like MySQL Administrator, Query Browser, and the popular PHPMyAdmin tool.

From the Author

With this book, I tried to write an example oriented introduction to MySQL.

The book covers installation (LAMP, WAMP), first use, administration with GUIs such as phpMyAdmin, database design, SQL, security, programming with PHP, Perl and VB (ODBC), administration (backups, text import/export, logging etc.) and some advanced topics (internationalization, full-text queries, transactions with BDB, InnoDB and Gemini). The book concludes with a reference of SQL commands, MySQL options and tools and PHP and Perl programming API.You can also try out all PHP samples. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the beginner, 10 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: MySQL (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping to get some help with getting to grips with MySql. I haven't been disappointed. It has good examples and answers all the questions in a friendly manner that I have trawled the MySql documentation to answer.

The book is especially good for someone who has had little experience of databases; it goes through skipable basics. The book also has good introductions to PHP, Pearl and ODBC and how to use MySql with them. Shame this wasn't extended to include Java.

Although I haven't read any of the other MySql books I think this one looks good in comparison from the reviews I have read. Good for the first time user who needs some help getting to grips with MySql, and for answering those general admin questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice book with lots of information., 16 Jun 2006

By	M. Tsoukalos "Programming Dashboard Widgets" (Greece) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was trying to install MySQL to my Mac machine and I had some problems. This book helped to solve them.
It also helped me solve all the other issues that I had after installation: create a database, create a new user, change a password, etc.
I also used it as a reference for writing a Perl script to interact with a MySQL database.
I would recommend it to anyone that wants to start using MySQL.
If you do not want an advanced MySQL book, you can buy this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, 1 Sep 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: MySQL (Paperback)

This is a great book on MySQL. I have found it to be very useful and informative.

It is however a bit dated now. The author should update it.

Great coverage of OBDC. Visual Basic, PHP etc.
