“…a good read for anyone considering a serious use for MySQL…”(Linux Format, August 2003)

From the Back Cover

Learn how to build and manage enterprise-level MySQL applications

With more than three million users, MySQL is the most popular open source database server in the world. In addition to running on Linux, Windows, Macintosh, FreeBSD, and several flavors of UNIX, MySQL provides an extremely fast, reliable, and inexpensive alternative to such commercial databases as Oracle, DB2, and Informix. Advantages such as those have convinced corporations to adopt MySQL to replace their more expensive database servers.

Written by Alexander Pachev, one of the lead programmers of MySQL, MySQL Enterprise Solutions is the first book to provide corporate users with both advice for adopting MySQL and a complete guide to building enterprise-level database applications with MySQL. Pachev covers all of the major programming languages used with MySQL, each illustrated with code examples. In addition, he includes case studies that document how enterprise customers are successfully using MySQL. This informative guide also covers such topics as:

• The pros and cons of a company adopting MySQL
• How to select the best platform for MySQL
• Installing, testing, and configuring the MySQL server
• Optimizing MySQL server performance
• Migrating to MySQL from other commercial databases
• Security, access control, and backup
• Practical guidance on trouble-shooting in a business environment

The companion Web site includes all of the code for the databases included in this book.

This review is from: MySQL Enterprise Solutions (Paperback)

I wasn't very impressed with this book. There was lots of general common sense statements that don't need to be said. The author glosses over installing MySQL from source. The majority of the book deals with version 3.2. If you know nothing about databases and MySQL is your first, you might get a little out of this book. If you have some experience with databases, you will get little from this book. If you are a DBA you will get nothing from this book.

This is a good resource for Enterprise MySQL. Since I am a novice I am not the best reviewer, though dated I found it interesting and informative.

I like the way this author writes. I was amazed at the network configurations to move MySQL to a higher level. I was inspired by his positive attitude and straight forward approach to solving any MySQL problem -- "Lets make it work" and gave lots of tips and advice in a very orgainized manner.
