After reading the other reviews, I am glad to see that most of them agree with me.


I don't know how ANYONE could POSSIBLY praise this as a decent book. There are so many typos in the text and (especially) in the sample code that it's rediculous!


O'Reilly should be embarassed to have such a book in their lineup.


Although it explains nicely how MySQL and relational database systems actually work, it doesn't really give you much information on how to use one.


I also take a little bit of umbrage at the fact that the book assumes the reader is running the server he's using and has root privileges.


Bleurgh. A pile of stinky ----
