DESCRIPTION:
"A good primer & reference, but assumes some prior knowledge" according to Eric Hwang. After reading about half the book, I'm now more aware of what I've already done with other databases and hopefully can better utilize MySQL. If you're looking for a book to hold your hand through the entire process of creating a database application, you'd better look elsewhere. MySQL & mSQL assumes the reader is not a dummy (like some series of books are written toward) and has enough programming background to effectively apply the concepts presented.Havi. Not up to the O'Reilly standard David This book isn't great. The organization of the material is poor; MySQL and mSQL are mixed together confusingly. I was hoping for more of a tutorial format in the early chapters; the book leaves readers to climb the relatively steep learning curve on their own.The reference section is confusingly laid out-- there's no indication within the section whether a given page is about MySQL or mSQL, making it difficult to look up the particulars of an SQL command. . Reference only. Not an intro A little overpriced I started using MySQL since I wanted a database that didn't cost alot (free on Linux) and it was the database that my hosting provider used.I picked up this book just as a base reference to MySQL/mSQL and it has served that purpose. I've been a DBA so I wasn't looking for an intro to SQL and databases, which this book is not, as evidenced by it being in the Nutshell series.A little overpriced for what it's useful for, but if you already know SQL and relati
In addition, you can embed queries and updates right in an HTML file so that a web page becomes its own interface to the database.This book is all you need to make use of MySQL or mSQL. It takes you through the whole process from installation and configuration to programming interfaces and basic administration. Or you want to ask your web site's visitors for their interests and preferences and put up a fresh web page that tallies the results.Unlike commercial databases, MySQL and mSQL are affordable and easy to use. If you know basic C, Java, Perl, or Python, you can quickly write a program to interact with your database. MySQL and mSQL are popular and robust database products that support key subsets of SQL on both Linux and Unix systems. Both products are free for nonprofit use and cost a small amount for commercial use.Even a small organization or web site has uses for a database. Perhaps you keep track of all your customers and find that your information is outgrowing the crude, flat-file format you started with. Includes reference chapters and ample tutorial material.Topic

The book then moves from Perl on to other programming languages--Python and Java. One of the best parts of this book is its introduction to using Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and Perl to power a Web site with a MySQL/mSQL database. Whatever programming API you choose, MySQL and mSQL are ready to meet the needs of the small to moderate-size Web site. Next the authors look at SQL as used within MySQL and mSQL and clarify where to download these packages and how to install them. The book begins with a fine introduction to databases that covers tables, fields, indexes, and normalization. Reference material to all the relevant APIs is featur
