Navicat is a GUI tool used for managing every aspect of a MySQL Server, such
as managing visual tools as well as an intelligent code editor for handcoding SQL
and stored procedures. While some of its features are fairly intuitive, some of them
require guidance to be discovered and learned.
The book starts with creating basic server connection setups, designing databases
from scratch, or importing existing data. Then it continues with using advanced
features, such as designing functions and stored procedures, creating event triggers,
and creating and scheduling batch jobs.
The chapters are ordered in a logical progression, where the user starts from simple
structures to complex design, and is gradually introduced to advanced features.
By the end of the last chapter, the reader should be able to handle every aspect of
database administration as well as how to master the intelligent code editor, in the
case of a development need, such as functions and procedures.
For intermediate and advanced level MySQL users and administrators, the book
could be used as a reference guide, and chapters need not be followed in any order. |
