Appendix A. Information Resources
Throughout this book, I have pointed to good sources of information that can help during troubleshooting. Here is short list of them, grouped by usage type. As always, I prefer those I personally use daily.
Resources Containing Information That Is Usually Useful
- The official MySQL Reference Manual
This is the first place to go for information because it documents how one or another feature is supposed to work.
- Search engines
If you can’t find enough detail in the MySQL Reference Manual, try your favorite search engine. In most cases, you can copy and paste an error message and get lots of information about the problem. The planet Earth is really small, and it is hard to catch a truly unique problem.
