I would agree with the other person who posted about the MySQL 5.0 cert guide. It is quite thorough. I would also recommend "Pro MySQL" which is more in-depth on some things like replication.
If you are going to be going into clusters..there is only book that specifically covers it. "MySQL Clustering" is published by MySQL. It is rather dated (not covering 5.1 features) but it is pretty in-depth.

I need some advise on what to read and what tutorials to work through. We are going to build a data warehouse using mysql 5.0. We will try to build the entire ETL stream using sql scripts and stored procedures. It will be up to me to translate the data analysis and initial datamodel into a working database and ETL stream. I have a high working knowledge of sql on Oracle, DB2 and MS SQL Server 2k5. My knowledge of stored procedures is limited to an Oracle PL/SQL training some years ago with limited pracical experience. I have a basic knowledge of programming (Java, Python and VB) Within a few days, I will have about 4 full days to invest into getting to know MySQL 5.0. With the above objective, experience and most important, time limit in mind, what documentation (and important sections therof) and tutorials would you advise me to use? What parts of MySQL functionality should I focus on and what should I skip over for the moment?
