Hi, Any recommendations for a solid, comprehensive coverage of MySql for someone who is very experienced database-wise, but needs to get the MySql architecture, differences and peculiarities?
thanks, Chris

SQL in a Nutshell (3rd ed) isn't exactly what you're asking about, but I find it invaluable as a reference to see the various differences from ANSI standards for each of MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.

Amazon has lots of MySQL books you can try.
I'm sure you'll say "I can do an Amazon search", and you'll be correct. "High Performance MySQL" sure looks good. It's the second one on the list. Do you trust Amazon's algorithms? We'll see if there are folks here who can second that opinion.

Doorstop IV, ie MySQL 4th Edition by Paul Dubois, is really well written and comprehensive.

Understanding MySQL Internals and High Performance MySQL: Optimization, Backups, Replication, and More can be considered the definitive books on MySQL internals. They are both worth being read.
