### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Resource for Intermediates & Pros - Not Great for Beginners
*by J***Y on February 18, 2016*

This is an excellent and very complete resource for developers and admins who already know the basics and have some experience with databases, and want a very detailed and complete reference book with lots of great tips and insights on MySQL. I'm a front end developer with *some* MySQL/database experience, so I was basically able to keep up with the *dense* technical-documentation-like content in this book, and I learned a ton about the features and capabilities of MySQL. However, this was NOT a great starter book for a beginner like me as it's essentially a detailed feature-oriented book with lots of theoretical examples, but almost no explanation of database design, and limited examples of how to use MySQL in a real-world application. This will be a fantastic long term MySQL reference on my bookshelf, but right now I've already ordered 2 more beginner-level books to help me apply all the features I now learned about from this book towards actually designing databases for my own applications.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thorough, understandable, needed an editor. Serious problems with Kindle version.
*by N***K on January 21, 2015*

Though not currently a developer, I wrote a lot of C a 25 years ago. This book was a nice middle-ground between a basic tutorial and a reference manual. The explanation is a bit verbose, but consequently easy to read through. The organization is a bit bizarre: one subsection goes into deep detail on alternative engines, with historical underpinnings and applications where one's queries are more efficient than the next; the next subsection goes into utterly elementary syntax for basic expressions. It goes back and forth without concern for the order in which information should be presented to make it relevant. There's a reason some stuff goes in the back of the book.A more unfortunate difficulty applies to the Kindle edition: the code examples don't lay our correctly, often rearranging symbols. I could usually figure it out , but this is a critical flaw for a book on programming syntax, where accurate character-by character presentation is the heart of the subject. Would be 2-stars if Amazon allowed rating of the specific version, rather than 4 for the book as a whole.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super-useful for beginners and c programmers.
*by J***S on April 11, 2015*

Overview:-great for mysql beginners.-great chapter on CAPI and example code is free and legal https: http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/.-get the paper version because kindle version has problems.Lifesaver for a school project I was working on written in C. The chapter on the C API was better than anything I could google up. If you only need that chapter (the C API) it's free and legal at the book's website http://www.kitebird.com/mysql-book/. You can also find all the example code there.If you have little or no experience setting up and using mysql I would recommend buying the book anyways. Get the paper version. I bought the Kindle version and the indexing (kindle navigation) isn't fine grained enough to navigate quickly, since you will often need to do so when treating this as a reference book. The characters in the code examples also appear disordered, for example you will see "p-" instead of "-p". If you have command line and programming experience, you can easily figure it out, if not you're screwed.
