| There are many books out there that describe MySQL and PHP.While most of them devote a lot of space to describing PHP, they only briefly describe MySQL. I wanted to write a book that was different from this, in that I wanted a book that described MySQL from a web perspective with only passing references to PHP. This is that book.
This book will describe the setup and use of a MySQL server and client and how to access, use and secure this system.
MySQL and PHP originally appeared on the Linux platform, so many books deal with it from a Linux perspective. This book will teach you about installing and using MySQL on the Microsoft Windows platform.However,much of the theory behind the software will be of use whatever platform you are using.
This book should appeal to anyone who needs more insight into how databases work in relation to the web. If you are completely new to using MySQL then this book will serve as a good introduction to the software. With an internet connection, you can easily obtain MySQL and associated tools at no cost.
This book will also be of benefit to someone wanting to learn SQL. While working through the examples you will get a firm understanding of the concepts behind structured query language and how you use it to communicate with databases.
The book also gives a brief introduction to database design, and shows how an efficiently designed database can improve the performance of MySQL.
Lots of books about SQL and databases start with a lot of theory. The theory normally describes the “relational model” and instils terror into all but the most technical reader! I’m not going to do this here.You do not have to learn about databases by looking at the theory. I want you to learn how to use MySQL, and by association Structured Query Language
(SQL).You may pick up a bit of the theory on the way. |
