Perfect for beginning developers and IT professionals, this book provides step-by-step instructions on how to download and install MariaDB, use the SQL script language, create databases, tables, views, procedures, functions, build foreign keys, and understand database design. Plus, learn about transactions, events, triggers, and other features that aren’t found in earlier publications! Get the latest version of MariaDB and HeidiSQL, the default database software interface that is shipped with the MariaDB installation.
A nice first book on MariaDB and a quickstart/primer for SQL. If you follow along with doing the examples in the book, you will start a decent foundation for working with MariaDB and MySQL in general. I'm only dinging this book one star for the formatting in kindle which makes it hard to read, especially on a mobile device. To be clear the formatting is the issue, not the actual content which I found to be quite clear and concise.
