MySQL Related Books
In this section you can find some good books on MySQL. As a general policy, we don't list any books that we don't think are worth owning. We don't believe in negative book reviews: just because we don't like a book doesn't mean that someone won't appreciate it. Our book recommendations are grouped by the type of book and topic. This should make it easier for you to find a book suitable to your needs. Click on the heading for the section in which you're interested and you'll be shown a list of recommended books.
General MySQL Reference
These reference books are about all or nearly all of MySQL. There may be some specialized topics that are not included, but they cover the aspects of MySQL which are common to almost developers and administrators of MySQL. This grouping of books are primarily reference books, organized similarly to a dictionary. They may include brief tutorials and examples, but weren't intended to be read in page number order. Instead, you use them to look for information as you need it on a particular SQL statement or function.
MySQL Tutorials
These books are tutorials about MySQL. They're about MySQL in general and not about a specific aspect of MySQL. They're organized in a way in which one would typically read them in page number order, although they could later be used as a reference book.
MySQL Stored Routines
These books are either primarily about stored routines (i.e., user defined stored procedures and functions) in MySQL, or at least include a useful section on stored routines.
MySQL Replication
There aren't many books written about replication, so this book includes books that at least have a useful section on MySQL Replication.
MySQL Cluster
This section lists books on MySQL Cluster. This is still a new feature of MySQL, so there aren't many books published on the topic yet. Therefore, we've grouped all Cluster books together rather than separate reference from tutorial and other types.
Web & MySQL
The books in this category are probably in other categories. They explain how to use MySQL as a database for web sites. To do this, one would generally use an language like PHP or Perl as the interface.
Perl & MySQL
These books are either primarily about developing with Perl and MySQL, or have a section on Perl. This would typically include text on Perl DBI.
PHP & MySQL
These books are mostly about developing with PHP and MySQL. They also include some books that have a good PHP section related to MySQL
Unique Topics
These books are specialty books related to MySQL for which there may be only one book published in its category (e.g., certification study guide). Until we have more of the same kind, we're piling them in here.
