Omissions: What This Book Doesn't Cover

The Phrasebook aims to be compact, rather than comprehensive. As such, a few topics have been omitted:

• Installation or configuration of MySQL This book assumes that your MySQL installation is already up and running.

• MaxDB or MySQL Cluster Although much of the content in MySQL Phrasebook applies to these database engines, this book does not specifically describe their implementation or use.

• Detailed coverage of features and functions This book is not a complete reference for MySQL and only provides the most essential information on major features and functions.

• Advanced topics Advanced topics, such as debugging server crashes, tuning replication, and so on, are not discussed.
