Question

Im looking to expand on the knowledge I already have. Whats a good book to do that?

Answer 1

Check amazon, read reviews and sample chapters or search your local bookstore

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=MySQL&x=0&y=0

Answer 2

Currently I'm reading the SQL Cookbook. Not exclusively MySQL, but it gives solutions to complex queries using Oracle, DB2, SQLServer, MySQL and PostgressSQL.

In my opinion a must have, if you want to query with power.

Answer 3

try either:

• Understanding MySQL Internals
• High Performance MySQL

the latter is a great book imho

Answer 4

"High Performance MySQL" would be my choice.

Answer 5

DataBase Systems: A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management is a really good book on the subject.

Answer 6

PRO MySQL has a lot of nice tips.

Answer 7

instead you read documentation at http://php.net
