Review of MySQL CookBook
MySQL CookBook
Paul DuBois
O'Reilly, 2003
This book covers a large amount of material on using MySQL. If you are new to MySQL (or SQL), this book could be a tremendous help. There are only two bad things I can say about this book. One is that it is huge. If you don't read books like this cover-to-cover that may not be a problem. The second is that not all of its recipes seem to follow the cookbook style. Although much better than some of the cookbook-style books, it is not the best of the style. That being said, most of the book does do a good job of picking problems and showing you how to solve them in proper cookbook style.
