Best book this year, July 16 2008
This is the best book of the year. If you run a major site on mysql this
is your new bible. This book covers what you need to know about
partitioning, scaling, and taking mysql to the fullest.
I was eager to jump the replication sections. Its one of the most complex
topics in mysql and this book was able to break it down.
I have met one of the authors at a php meetup. To be honest, they are the most respected in the industry.
Why couldn't I get this version years ago?
Media reviews
"This is a good book that is well worth the cost. While it is not a newbie book, there is plenty here for novice and expert alike. I can pretty much guarantee that if you work with, or want to work with, MySQL, you will get some value from it...If you buy this book along with MySQL in Nutshell and MySQL Cookbook, I don't think you would need another MySQL book in your library."
-- Lewis Cunningham, MySQL Database News
"Without a doubt, High Performance MySQL belongs on any serious developer's bookshelf. Like the original, it's an enjoyable, engaging read that provides battled-tested solutions to real-world problems that engineers face in scaling their applications...Perhaps more importantly, the second edition brings with it a reminder of how important database design is to web development."
-- Matt Thompson, Technology Evangelist Intern, Yahoo! Developer Network
