Huge improvement over 1st edition |
|
If you read the first edition and were underwhelmed, this is a vastly improved book. This second edition is entirely rewritten, more than twice as long, and covers a wide array of topics in depth, giving detailed advice and analysis in every chapter. The authors' advice on Innodb tuning, query optimization, and advanced replication issues is very strong. If you are responsible for a non-trivial MySQL installation, get this book. |

Excellent |
|
This is a must have book for any Mysql DBA who want to learn more about performance tuning beyond reading the explain plan. The only gripe I have is that aside from the Query Performance Optimization and Optimizing Server Settings section, the authors should have another section dealing specifically with Tuning Writes and Tuning Reads other than that it's an excellent book, it even includes snippets on Prepared statements which I used often along with stored procedures to optimize performance. |

Excellent book for advanced users |
The title of this book is very appropriate. Great coverage on performance, reliability, backup & recovery. Definitely not an introductory book.
There were a couple of places where the writing was hard to follow, but I'm sure that'll be fixed in the next printing.

One of the most usefull books about MySQL nowdays |
This book has to have any MySQL DBA (both administrators and architects). It provides very deep view on how MySQL works and reacts on your configuration and SQL.
If you are programmer, you should browse this book too, to get background about MySQL and what it can do for you and what you can do for MySQL to get best performance SQL.
This probably should not be your first book about MySQL (not only knowledge but some experience is handy) but definitely second one ;) |

Outstanding book on tuning MySQL |
I work with MySQL in a web server environment every day and performance
is always an issue. This book is simply excellent. The authors are quite knowledgeable -- they not only tell you what settings to you, but also include why. They debunked a lot of misconceptions I held about getting the best performance out of the server and when to use MyISAM v. InnoDB.
I especially appreciated the deep background into server operation and how data is stored and queries processed with the different storage engines. If you are thinking of using MySQL on a large project, you need this book.
There's a good reason this is a 2nd edition -- a great book. |
