The Most Complete and Practical Guide to MySQL
Version 5’s Powerful SQL Dialect
MySQL version 5 offers a SQL dialect with immense
power. In SQL for MySQL Developers, Rick F. van der Lans helps you master this
version ofSQL and take advantage of its full potential. Using case study
examplesand hands-on exercises, van der Lans illuminates every key
concept,technique, and statement–including advanced features that make
iteasier to create even the most complex statements and programs.
Drawing on decades of experience as an SQL
standards team member and enterprise consultant, he reveals exactly why
MySQL’s dialect works as it does–and how to get the most out of it. You’ll
gain powerful insight into everything from basic queries to stored procedures,
transactions to data security.

analyst, DBA, or database user, this book can take you from “apprentice” to
true SQL expert. If you’ve used SQL in older versions of MySQL, you’ll become
dramatically more effective–and if you’re migrating from other database
platforms, you’ll gain practical mastery fast.
