Ebook: MySQL Administrator's Guide

This book is not for the faint at heart. However, it can be useful for the geek. It definitely is not for the beginner. It is dense and steeped in code lines.

If one wants a good beginner book for MySql, PHP and Apache then I recommend Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache in 24 Hours by Julie C. Meloni (Paperback - Dec. 11, 2002.

It is an older book so it may difficult to find at times, but most of the code is Basic knowledge and easy to follow. If one buys a copy make sure it has the CD in it that can be very helpful.
