MySQL in a Nutshell

 Title: MySQL in a Nutshell ( 2 edition) Author: Russell J.T. Dyer Publisher: O'Reilly Media Pages: 561 ISBN: 978-0-596-51433-4 Rating: 9

MySQL statements and functions are grouped by usage and from there they are listed in alphabetical order. For each statement and function, the syntax and explanation is provided along with examples of their use. Since the author is intricately involved in this web site, we'll leave it to others to comment further on this book. You can find reviews on this page.

MySQL Pocket Reference

 Title: MySQL Pocket Reference ( 1 edition) Author: George Reese Publisher: O'Reilly Media Pages: 132 ISBN: 0596514263 Rating: 8

This booklet is small in size, but lists alphabetically all of the MySQL statements and functions with the syntax and descriptions of each. It's a great book to keep in your bag or by your database server for quick reference.

MySQL columns: everywhere I look are tables and columns; life is filled with databases of information to be ordered and grouped.
