SQL book recommendation?

SQL book recommendation?

am 26.10.2010 12:49:59 von MPBrede

I'm finding the MySQL online manuals hard going in figuring out how to
construct SQL queries. Can anyone perhaps recommend a good book that can
shed light on the subject?

Thanks.

The book I've been using is 'MySQL, The definitive guide to using, =
programming, and administering MySQL 4.1 and 5.0' ISBN 0-672-32673-6 =
(there may be a more recent version).

Well written, with a general introduction to SQL and (from my POV) very =
good sections on writing MySQL with C and PHP

You might want to use an on-line introductory course, if you have time for the
leisurely pace.

I also suggest the book "High Performance Mysql" which is good for
mysql dev and admin.

If that's my book, it sounds like the third edition. The fourth edition =
is more recent. http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/

Yes, I've just checked I have the third edition.

I'll probably keep my copy (I'm not a particularly heavy user of MySQL) =
but would recommend anybody looking for a book to get the 4th edition =
rather than the 3rd=20
