    From SQA@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 26 16:13:29 2020
    This free MySQL tutorial book is a collection of notes and sample codes written by the author while he was learning MySQL himself, an ideal tutorial guide for beginners. Topics include introduction of Structured Query Language (SQL); installation of
    MySQL; using MySQL client program; accessing MySQL from PHP, Java and Perl programs; SQL data types, literals, operations, expressions, and functions; Statements of Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), and Query Language;
    stored procedures; transaction management; locks and deadlocks. Updated in 2019 (Version Version 4.30): added MySQL 8 tutorials.

    What do you expect from a Google Groupie?

    But to the author's credit, it's a decent book. Yes, everything can be
    found in the official doc, but that's good as a reference manual. I
    think this has some advantages in that it's written more like a user
    manual.

    However, at the same time the author's lack of experience in MySQL shows
    in that he skips over a lot of topics and doesn't really describe some
    areas.

    For instance, under "Installing MySQL" he says to enter the password "TopSecret" - not explaining what the password is for or why you should
    not use "TopSecret" as a password. He also says to install only the
    full version with no discussion of a custom install. He also had
    nothing on configuration options in my.ini. And, of course, nothing on
    Linux (probably the most common OS for MySQL installations).

    So all in all, it's not a bad book and an OK for beginners. But you're
    correct in that the reference manual contains all of this information
    and more. But it can also be hard for a beginner to know what questions
    to ask in order to find something in the official doc.
