  Book Information

When you need to find the right SQL keyword or MySQL client
command-line option right away, turn to this convenient
reference, known for the same speed and flexibility as the
system it covers so thoroughly. MySQL is packed with so many
capabilities that the odds of remembering a particular
function or statement at the right moment are pretty slim.
With MySQL in a Nutshell, you get the details you need, day
in and day out, in one concise and extremely well organized
book.

The new edition contains all the commands and programming
information for version 5.1, including new features and
language interfaces. It's ideal for anyone using MySQL, from
novices who need to get up to speed to advanced users who
want a handy reference. Like all O'Reilly Nutshell
references, it's easy to use and highly authoritative,
written by the editor of the MySQL Knowledge Base at MySQL
AB, the creator and owner of MySQL.

Inside, you'll find:

A thorough reference to MySQL statements, functions, and
administrative utilities
Several tutorial chapters to help newcomers get started
Programming language APIs for PHP, Perl, and C
Brief tutorials at the beginning of each API chapter to help
anyone, regardless of experience level, understand and
master unfamiliar territory
New chapters on replication, triggers, and stored procedures
Plenty of new examples of how MySQL is used in practice
Useful tips to help you get through the most difficult
subjects

Whether you employ MySQL in a mission-critical, heavy-use
environment or for applications that are more modest, this
book puts a wealth of easy-to-find information at your
fingertips, saving you hundreds of hours of trial and error
and tedious online searching. If you're ready to take
advantage of everything MySQL has to offer, MySQL in a
Nutshell has precisely what it takes.
