(Ebook) MySQL Admin Cookbook by Daniel Schneller, Udo Schwedt ISBN 9781847197962, 1847197965

I use PHP and HTML in my day to day work and I have dabbled in MySQL. However, I have not done much beyond the basic PHPMyAdmin and MySQL database design. So I was intrigued by a more thorough look into the technology that is used to power the data driven sites that I create. As I began to read this book, I have to admit that I was quickly overwhelmed by the depth of what was being covered. It is way beyond what my current level will allow me to understand. But, that really isn't the book's problem, it is my own lack of knowledge and experience! I can see this book being a tremendous asset as I continue to learn how to manage large-scale MySQL installs. Having a collection of "recipes" for many different issues and situations is a great benefit. This is a very targeted, focused book and it is also a great resource for the individual that occasionally finds himself working on a MySQL database. The techniques and tools are there, but it is not for the faint of heart!
