| SYNOPSIS |
In MySQL, Paul DuBois provides you with a comprehensive guide to one of the most popular relational database systems. Paul has contributed to the online documentation for MySQL, and is an active member of the MySQL community. The principle MySQL developer, Monty Widenius, and a network of his fellow developers reviewed the manuscript, providing Paul with the kind of insight no one else could supply. Instead of merely giving you a general overview of MySQL, Paul teaches you how to make the most of its capabilities. Through two sample database applications that run throughout the book, he gives you solutions to problems you're sure to face. He helps to integrate MySQL efficiently with third-party tools, such as PHP and Perl, enabling you to generate dynamic Web pages through database queries. He teaches you to write programs that access MySQL databases, and also provides a comprehensive set of references to column types, operators, functions, SQL syntax, MySQL programming, C API, Perl DBI, and PHP API. MySQL simply gives you the kind of information you won't find anywhere else.
If you use MySQL, this book provides you with:
- An introduction to MySQL and SQL
- Coverage of MySQL's data types and how to use them
- Query optimization guidelines
- Thorough treatment of how to write client programs in C
- A guide to using the Perl DBI and PHP APIs for developing command-line and Web-based based applications
- Tips on administrative issues such as user accounts, backup, crash recovery, and security
- Help in choosing an ISP for MySQL access
- A comprehensive reference for MySQL's data types, operators, functions, and SQL statements and utilities
- Complete reference guides for MySQL's C API, the Perl DBI API, and PHP's MySQL-related functions
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
| | Paul DuBois | Paul DuBois began his involvement with MySQL after recoiling in horror at the complexities of dealing with a database from one of the larger commercial vendors, and with its customer support mechanism. Turning to MySQL for relief proved to have unforeseen and unexpected consequences: first as the opportunity to contribute to the MySQL Reference Manual, then to writing MySQL with New Riders, and most recently to his present employment with NuSphere, a company actively involved in MySQL development, promotion, and training.
Paul's responsibilities and interests have at one time or another involved database development, Web site development and management, mailing list management, system administration, and TCP/IP and AppleTalk networking. He's considered a leader in the MySQL and open source communities. |
