How This Book Works


This book is divided into five parts :

Part I, "MySQL Basics," will teach you how to install and configure MySQL on your system and will give you a tour of your installation.

Part II, "Designing and Creating Databases with MySQL," will take you through the process of database design and creation. Readers who have done database design before can skim through this part of the book, but if databases are new to you, we suggest that you read it in detail.

Part III, "Using MySQL," takes you through how to query MySQL on a day-to-day basis.

Part IV, "MySQL Table Types and Transactions," explains how to use the different storage engine types in MySQL, with a special focus on the InnoDB engine and how it can be used for transactions.

Part V, "Administering MySQL," explains the basic tasks needed to perform DBA duties with MySQL, including user management, configuration, database maintenance, backup and recovery, database security, and replication.

Part VI, "Optimizing MySQL," will help you to get the most out of your MySQL database by optimizing your server setup, database, and queries for your specific situation.

At the end of each chapter, you'll find a set of review questions and practical exercises for you to practice the skills from that particular chapter.
