MySQL reference manual V4.0.5

MySQL is the most popular SQL database in the open source community and is used almost universally by web sites running on open source systems. As powerful and flexible as it is lightweight and efficient, MySQL packs a large feature set into a very small and fast engine that now runs on more than 500,000 servers. This highly regarded and comprehensive reference manual comes directly from the members of the MySQL team and is now available in paperback format. It is an exact reproduction of the MySQL Reference Manual from the MySQL development team's web site. The book covers issues at all stages in MySQL use, from installation problems through performance tuning. Included are suggested uses of privileges to enhance security, many performance tips, and a sophisticated guide to error recovery. It also offers a thorough comparison of MySQL with SQL standards and other databases, and covers MySQL 4.0. No serious MySQL user should be without this book.
