Title: disappointing
Review: Very disappointing. O'Reilly books generally mean quality but this one is terrible. It's poorly organized and the idea of covering both MySQL and mSQL in the same book simply doesn't work. Most people will be using one or the other and will be flipping back and forth trying to find the relevant chapters. What information there is is not particularly useful or insightful, consisting mostly of technical references which are done much better on the MySQL site. Not recommended.Instead of this book, I would go with:The Practical SQL handbook- for general learning about SQLMySQL by Paul DuBoisand depending on whether you plan to use PHP or Perl:MySQL and Perl for the Web by Paul DuBoisPHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson
