I've got about four books on MySQL, including one on using MySQL for web development, but the book I would recommend for both your needs is 'MySQL' by Paul DuBois. The book is a little out of date and you will need to check the on line manual to see what has changed, especially for SQL. But it covers the basics of SQL and performance better than anything else. Almost all your beginning questions will be answered there. For a more advanced treatment of performance, Jeremy's book sounds like the best bet, when it comes out. Bob Hall -- Know thyself?
