Which book?

Post by impulse() »

I seem to have exhausted all the online MySQL tutorials now and they only briefly cover subjects. I'm planning to go to a large book store tomorrow in search of a good MySQL book. Any suggestions on which book? Is it a good idea to buy a book on advanced MySQL techniques or will that be too advanced for someone who knows the basics such as INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE and a few syntax symbols?

Imho, once you know ansi sql and data modelling ( (e)erd, normalisation, ..) pretty well i think you'd better consult the mysql manual (probably also available in printed version) and lookup what you need ;)

I've heard nothing but good things about this book:
The Definitive Guide to MySQL 5, Third Edition
