MySQL Clustering
Alex Davies, Harrison Fisk

MySQL Press, 2006

Clustering is the final component of MySQL that makes it truly enterprise-level and able to compete fully with proprietary databases such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. The increased number of high-demand, high-productivity corporations and institutions choosing MySQL, including MIT, the Department of Homeland Security, NASA, and Nokia, to name a few, need the benefit of clustering databases for high performance and scalability. ...

Way exceeded my expectation!
The book is quite big and my first impression was it's going to take a long time and it's full of useless info. But once I started reading, I had a nice surprise. The book actually covers 2 certifications (Dev and DBA), 2 exams each. I can't speak for the Dev part, but the DBA part was very well structured and each exam required less than 200 pages of reading. The information was dense enough and ...

Luke Welling and Laura Thomson have the special gift of taking information, disseminating it, and making it simple to understand for everyone. This is the second book I bought from these authors (Php and MySQL Web Development) without any complaints. It is nice to see books of this size (250 pages) at this price point coming out. Nothing is worse than those large tomes that weigh a ton and ...

All You Need - What More Can I Say.
I first looked at using MySql in a web application back around 2001 or 2. Using it would have required a port of the SQL statements. And I decided not to use it. The application I was porting had lots of statements that used SubQueries, and MySql didn't support these. Yes, I could have re-written all the statements using joins and other methods, but what a lot of work. As a result, when I was ...

I was about to buy Oracle, but chose MySQL instead (and saveed big $$$)
I'm a DBA for a mid-sized manufacturing company. We were about to upgrade our SQL Server to Oracle 10g, which was going to set ups back a lot of money. I had been experimenting with MySQL and bought this helpful book to give me a better understanding of how to make it run fast. I really liked the case studies, because they cover a lot of different senarios. To make long story short, I was able to ...

One of the best MySQL books around
This book is not only an excellent source for prepping for the Core and Professional exams, it's also great for teaching good MySQL usage in general. This should be no surprise: Paul DuBois is the main author, and anyone even remotely in touch with MySQL know his reputation. Now that I'm certified, I will soon be teaching courses in MySQL. I plan to use this book as course material, and I ...
