MySQL

Más información sobre el libro

A guide for end users and administrators alike. MySQL helps users make the most of MySQL, a client-server SQL database management system. -- Devoted exclusively to helping users make the most of the MySQL database system -- Provides the best single source of understandable, practical information for learning how to use MySQL productively -- Closely tied to the MySQL developers, Paul DuBois is a MySQL expert, and has authored and revised a significant portion of the online MySQL documentationMySQL will teach the reader how to use the tools provided by the MySQL distribution itself, covering installation, setup, daily use, security, optimization, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It will also discuss important third-party tools, such as the Perl DBI and Apache/PHP interfaces that provide access to MySQL. These are used by a significant number of people who employ MySQL particularly for tying MySQL to Web sites. In a facetious sense, you could say the goal is to explain how to use MySQL so clearly that traffic on the MySQL, DBI, and PHP mailing lists is reduced significantly. It's pretty clear from tracking the questions asked on those lists that a general-purpose guide to MySQL (other than the reference manual) is needed.
