Title: Excellent Reference
Review: I've learned a lot from Vaswani. I think he has done an outstanding job of cataloging and summarizing MySQL. You can go to the very good index and find a few references, then find what you need. To me, a good index is a top priority, & Vaswani did a pretty good job with the index.I did find a few subjects which need more depth, but most subjects were covered well enough to answer my questions.This 4 star rating is from the perspective of a beginning to intermediate web application developer. My purpose in buying this book was to get from a basic SQL knowledge (via a local community college Oracle class) to a better understanding of MySQL, to use with PHP etc. I am not a systems administrator and have no desire to be one. Just wanted to use MySQL on a couple business projects, and MySQL Complete Reference has definitely helped.I think it is an excellent choice for a beginning to intermediate LAMP or MySQL application developer. For an application developer, I highly recommend it.
