Great Reference book. Not to be used as a full tutorial but is great for a quick lookup reference. It is good for those of us who are using MySQL for the first time but have experience with other DB's like MSSQL or Oracle. I did notice one discrepancy with MySQL's reference guide. When creating a Foreign Key constraint, the pocket reference does not show that foreign key column must be part of an index. I definitely recommend this book.
