Foreword by Michael "Monty" Widenius, MySQL Moderator.
In _MySQL_, Paul DuBois provides you with a comprehensive guide to one
of the most popular relational database systems. Paul has contributed
to the online documentation for MySQL and is an active member of the
MySQL community. The principal MySQL developer, Monty Widenius, and a
network of his fellow developers reviewed the manuscript, and provided
Paul with the kind of insight no one else could supply.
Instead of merely giving you a general overview of MySQL, Paul teaches
you how to make the most of its capabilities. Through two sample
database applications that run throughout the book, he gives you
solutions to problems you're sure to face. He helps you integrate
MySQL efficiently with third-party tools, such as PHP and Perl,
enabling you to generate dynamic Web pages through database queries.
He teaches you to write programs that access MySQL databases, and also
provides a comprehensive set of references to column types, operators,
functions, SQL syntax, MySQL programming, C API, Perl `DBI', and PHP
API. _MySQL_ simply gives you the kind of information you won't find
anywhere else.
If you use MySQL, this book provides you with:
* An introduction to MySQL and SQL.
* Coverage of MySQL's data types and how to use them.
* Thorough treatment of how to write client programs in C.
* A guide to using the Perl `DBI' and PHP APIs for developing
command-line and Web-based applications.
* Tips on administrative issues such as user accounts, backup, crash
recovery, and security.
* Help in choosing an ISP for MySQL access.
* A comprehensive reference for MySQL's data types, operators,
functions, and SQL statements and utilities.
* Complete reference guides for MySQL's C API, the Perl `DBI' API,
and PHP's MySQL-related functions.

you will learn from the authors' real-world knowledge and experience of
developing software for Linux; you'll be taken through the development
of a sample 'DVD Store' application, with 'theme' chapters addressing
different aspects of its implementation. Meanwhile, individual
"take-a-break" chapters cover important topics that go beyond the
bounds of the central theme. All focus on the practical aspects of
programming, showing how crucial it is to choose the right tools for
the job, use them as they should be used, and get things right first
time.

implementing both MySQL and PHP. These advantages are detailed through
the provision of both statistics and several case studies. A practical
web application is developed throughout the book, providing you with
the tools necessary to implement a functional online database. Each
function is developed separately, allowing you the choice to
incorporate only those parts that you would like to implement.
Programming concepts of the PHP language are highlighted, including
functions which tie MySQL support into a PHP script and advanced topics
regarding table manipulation.

_C++ For Real Programmers_ bridges the gap between C++ as described in
beginner and intermediate-level books and C++ as it is practiced by
experts. Numerous valuable techniques are described, organized into
three simple themes: indirection, class hierarchies, and memory
management. It also provides in-depth coverage of template creation,
exception handling, pointers and optimization techniques. The focus of
the book is on ANSI C++ and, as such, is compiler independent.
_C++ For Real Programmers_ is a revision of _Secrets of the C++
Masters_ and includes a new appendix comparing C++ with Java. The book
comes with a 3.5" disk for Windows with source code.
