This is the book you get once you understand basic MySQL and your boss starts talking about disaster recovery, replication, hot spares, backup snapshots and performance.

Amazing coverage of advanced MySQL use. I've already worn out the spine on it and it's dog-eared 8)

I saw only 3 reviews on this. It really needs to be in every bookshelf owned by people in charge of operational support of this DB.

It's a "can't live without it" title for me, right there with DNS/BIND, CVS and the various unix and programming titles I own.

Great job Jeremy and Derek!
