I haven't read it front to back, but I have an affinity for New Rider's
"MySQL" by Paul DuBois. (It's where I picked up PHP, and has been a useful
reference for me these days, as I work as a newbie MySQL coder :^) )

I've also got O'Reilly's "MySQL Cookbook" (also by DuBois) sitting here
on my desk, and have found it useful to get some real-world questions
answered quickly.

'course, I'm working at a tech. book store right now, so I'll no doubt
start poking my nose in the dozen other titles we have sitting on the
shelf here. :^)

Jim,
MySQL Cookbook also by Paul Dubois is also a good read. I got both
books (including MySQL 2nd Edition) at a 30% discount off the list price
plus another $10 off with a coupon plus free shipping. So don't pay retail
(unless you have plenty of $$).

I got one book from Amazon and the other from Chapters. You need
to search around for a coupon site and you'll usually find a $10 off coupon
that can be applied to each bookstore. Since there was free shipping it
didn't cost me anything to order it from 2 different locations.

If they were any cheaper, Paul would have to pay me to take them.<vbg>
