Sure, the MySQL Reference Manual http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ >where it's possible to undestand and learn all you need for managing the MySQL >DB as DBA? I mean I'd like to read something explaining what are datafiles, >tablespaces, ... and what usually a DBA is asked to do (creating databases, >starting up and shutting down the database, managing the database's storage >structures, making database backups and performing recovery, monitoring and >tuning performance, ...) In other words I'd like to read how to manage a DB as >DBA, because I've always worked only as developer and not as DBA. Maybe the Certification: Sun Certified MySQL Database Administrator (SCMDBA) could help you with that: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=333 by the way they recommend the book: MySQL 5 certification study guide http://books.google.com/books?id=0tErAAAACAAJ > Thanks! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
