Title: Msql coverage incomplete
Review: I bought this book to begin implementing Msql but was disappointed in the many holes in key information areas. Since I have only been using the book for a few days or so, I expect to find many more deficenicies. For instance, in describing the data types supported by Msql it describes the date data type simply as a "Standard date type". What the hell is that ??? '01-01-99' ? '01-01-1999'? or as is more common in Mysql '1999-01-01' or even '990101'? After a long search on the internet it was found to be '01-Jan-99' with the month being case sensitive....aarrrghhhh More examples of key details not working or being incomplete were found in the section on connecting to databases from Perl. The book is biased and slanted towards Mysql, although I cannot say the coverage there is any better because I don't use Mysql.
