I just ordered this book
MySQL The definitive guide to using, programming, and administering MySQL 4 by Paul Dubois
I found it more technical than MySQL cook book by Paul Dubois

Hi,
I would like to learn about RDBMS, namely mysql of course, but know really nothing in this area, so have to learn about; RDBMS, SQL and mysql from scratch.
In this regard, if anyone knows of any books they think would start me off on the right foot, I would be very grateful.
I have done some searching on Amazon, with the following results.
1. Beginning Databases with MySQL by Richard Stones, Neil Matthew
2. MySQL Cookbook by Paul DuBois
3. Managing and Using MySQL by George Reese, et al
4. Inside Relational Databases by Mark Whitehorn, Bill Marklyn
5. Database Design by Ryan K. Stephens, Ronald R. Plew
6. The Practical SQL Handbook: Using SQL Variants by Judith S. Bowman, et al
Many thanks in advance for all your help.
Fawad
