Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2010
It is not for the complete beginner, but you don't have to be too far off to get some real benefit from using this book.

The discussions about why you would use a particular technique are excellent too.

In my opinion it is great. I bought it and I am still using it.

I like the style of the book which tackles the problems encountered rather than introducing theories chapter by chapter.

The reason I gave it a 4 is that it didn't cover some more advanced skills for database admin such as database management and securities.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2013
This book was a great starter when I got into MySQL and has been the foundation for all my projects and knowledge of MySQL. A great and useful book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2008
A few pages past the table of contents, I had solved two issues that had been bugging me since my last install. It was pretty minor stuff, but could I as heck find the answers online. It just shows what research, presentation, and quality control can achieve. So, another score for books over bytes.

The layout is uncluttered, and you can usually get the gist without reading through pages of preamble and exposition. The examples are practical and adaptable (no long and complex routines found on some sites) so they can almost be cut and pasted into your own applications. As your applications develop, there's always something else you can add.

The only downside is that it's a book - a few mods to MySQL and you might have to fork out for the next revision. Still, I should have got my money's worth by then.

There is a lot to get through in this book. I wish it had a disc with it like the old days. I'd settle for a link.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent All-Around Guide To MySQL Programming
Reviewed in Canada on 6 April 2004
I am an experienced web developer and recently started using Perl with MySQL to build database-driven CGI applications.
MySQL Cookbook by Paul DuBois turned out to be a valuable reference resource.
While the title mentions only MySQL, the book provides a great deal of solutions (and code) for using MySQL with Perl, PHP, Python and Java. If you are familiar with any of these computer languages, this book and MySQL manual is all you need to start building applications with MySQL-compatible database backend.

5.0 out of 5 stars 負荷がかかる環境でMySQLを運用する際の手法を紹介
Reviewed in Japan on 12 October 2004
Vol.1 は基本的な運用方法を紹介しているとしたら、Vol.2 はMySQLに負荷がかかる運用を行う手法を紹介している。
目次内容からわかるように、会計処理や予約処理よりもWEBアプリケーションの基礎的な運用と処理方法を中心に書かれている。
不特定多数の利用者からのクエリーをいかに無害化させるか、格納されたデータの重複データを探し出す方法、ApacheとPerlとの連携方法、セッション管理なども記述されている。
また、Javaサーブレットとの運用なども記述されているので、興味がある人は一度書店で実物を確認してみると良いはず。
MySQLのマニュアルが無料公開されているので、そちらを読めば済むような話しも多いが、公開されているマニュアルは読みにくいなと思う人は一度、本書の内容を確認してみても損はしないはず。

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading for MySQL Users
Reviewed in the United States on 8 February 2007
The MySQL Cookbook removes some abstraction from reading the docs. The recipes are concise answers to real-world questions about how to accomplish specific goals with MySQL. It covers common vexing problems that would require significant spelunking in the manuals or web search engines. The recipes provide more clarifying context than the manual, making it easier to learn how to use all those arcane features you had barely noticed. Great as a reference or, upgrade your brain by reading a few entries a day.
