"MySQL is one of the most commonly used open source relational database management systems (RDBMS). Fully updated to include information on latest versions, this Springer book is becoming one of the most easily understandable texts on MySQL available. … Norman does a good job … . The text is liberally interspersed with examples of SQL … . Windows users who need to set up MySQL will greatly appreciate this book. … The book is a thorough, yet easy to understand resource for beginners."

Dumbed down version of MySQL documentation.,
By
This review is from: Database Design Manual: using MySQL for Windows (Springer Professional Computing) (Hardcover)
I bought this book with the hope to get deep insights into the workings of MySQL on windows platform, including issues like perfromance tuning on windows platform etc. But the book was a big disappointment. It is a dumbed down version of the MySQL documentation, for users who don't have any prior database experience. If you have already worked with database and want to learn about MySQL, you are better off reading the free online docmentation.
