Reader ReviewsI wasn't very impressed with this book. There was lots of general common sense statements that don't need to be said. The author glosses over installing MySQL from source. The majority of the book deals with version 3.2. If you know nothing about databases and MySQL is your first, you might get a little out of this book. If you have some experience with databases, you will get little from this book. If you are a DBA you will get nothing from this book.
