Book has valuable information but it uses an outdated layout for describing MySQL.
I grabbed this book for a course I was doing at TAFE. but I spent more time trying to convert the information in the examples than I did actually understanding the content.
The book is Solid. but make sure the syntax you will be using matches what is int he book.
