MySQL users, I just wanted to send a quick note to let anyone interested know that "High Performance MySQL" (the book I started a long time ago) is now available and shipping.
O'Reilly brought copies to the MySQL Conference last week and several folks have reported Amazon.com shipping, so it's time to say something. :-) If you were one who pre-ordered on Amazon.com, thanks! Your copy should show up soon. Book site: http://HighPerformanceMySQL.com/ On Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596003064/jeremydzawodny/ref=nosim On the O'Reilly site: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hpmysql/ There's a sample chapter (Replication) on-line as well as the TOC and description. The description says... As users come to depend on MySQL, they find that they have to deal with issues of reliability, scalability, and performance--issues that are not well documented but are critical to a smoothly functioning site. This book is an insider's guide to these little understood topics. Author Jeremy Zawodny has managed large numbers of MySQL servers for mission-critical work at Yahoo!, maintained years of contacts with the MySQL AB team, and presents regularly at conferences. Jeremy and Derek have spent months experimenting, interviewing major users of MySQL, talking to MySQL AB, benchmarking, and writing some of their own tools in order to produce the information in this book. In High Performance MySQL you will learn about MySQL indexing and optimization in depth so you can make better use of these key features. You will learn practical replication, backup, and load-balancing strategies with information that goes beyond available tools to discuss their effects in real-life environments. And you'll learn the supporting techniques you need to carry out these tasks, including advanced configuration, benchmarking, and investigating logs. </shameless_plug> Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
