MySQL is a relational database. Administering MySQL or for that matter any database is called Database Administration or DBA for short. A DBA's job is very different from that of a Linux System Administrator's job. A DBA must know a fair amount of DB theory and it's implementations in products like MySQL. DBA is a good career option, but beware, you will be in high demand cleaning up other people's mess. First learn about DB theory, then the specifics in MySQL. There is plenty of good material on dev.MySQL.com. > I just want to learn the > required skill of MySQL to satisfy the recruiters. Please give me a > complete guide. I'm an amateur in MySQL. IMO, your approach is incorrect. Are you really interested in MySQL or learning it for the sake of getting an interview? The clueless recruiter may be able to get you the interview. Believe me you will not get very far in the interview, if you learn to hack a few MySQL commands.
