Expert MySQL

by Charles A. Bell

MySQL remains one of the hottest open source database technologies. As the database has evolved into a product competitive with proprietary counterparts like Oracle and IBM DB2, MySQL has found favor with large scale corporate users who require high-powered features and performance. Expert MySQL is the first book to delve deep into the MySQL architecture, showing users how to make the most of the database through creation of custom storage handlers, optimization of MySQL's query execution, and use of the embedded server product. This book will interest users deploying MySQL in high-traffic environments and in situations requiring minimal resource allocation.
