I am still getting my feet wet on mysql. I, however have seen the MYSQL Refereence Manual at the mysql site while I have also seen Mysql Cookbook referenced or mentioned in the list.
As a true novice starting out, can someone tell me which of the two would be best suited for a true newbie....
Everyone needs the MySQL Reference Manual.
If you're new to MySQL, then MySQL Cookbook may not be the best choice for a first book. A more general text is "MySQL, Second Edition". Some comparison information is available here:

Disclaimer: I wrote both books, so of course I know more about them than other author's books. I'm sure other people on this list will provide recommendations for which books they've found most helpful.
Thank you all in advance
