Foreword by Michael ``Monty'' Widenius, MySQL Moderator.
@*
In @emph{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 @code{DBI}, and PHP API.
@emph{MySQL} simply gives you the kind of information you won't find
anywhere else.
@*
If you use MySQL, this book provides you with:
@itemize @bullet
@item
An introduction to MySQL and SQL.
@item
Coverage of MySQL's data types and how to use them.
@item
Thorough treatment of how to write client programs in C.
@item
A guide to using the Perl @code{DBI} and PHP APIs for developing
command-line and Web-based applications.
@item
Tips on administrative issues such as user accounts, backup,
crash recovery, and security.
@item

@item

functions, and SQL statements and utilities.

This book teaches you how to use MySQL and @code{mSQL}, two popular
and robust database products that support key subsets of SQL on both Linux
and Unix systems. Anyone who knows basic C, Java, Perl, or Python can
write a program to interact with a database, either as a stand-alone
application or through a Web page. This book takes you through the
whole process, from installation and configuration to programming
interfaces and basic administration. Includes plenty of tutorial
material.

In this follow-up to the best-selling @emph{Beginning Linux Programming},
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

@emph{PHP and MySQL Web Development} introduces you to the advantages
of 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.

@emph{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, organised into
three simple themes: indirection, class hierarchies, and memory
management. It also provides in-depth coverage of template creation,
exception handling, pointers and optimisation techniques. The focus of
the book is on ANSI C++ and, as such, is compiler independent.
@emph{C++ For Real Programmers} is a revision of
@emph{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.

Foreword by Michael ``Monty'' Widenius, MySQL Moderator.
@*
In @emph{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 @code{DBI}, and PHP API.
@emph{MySQL} simply gives you the kind of information you won't find
anywhere else.
@*
If you use MySQL, this book provides you with:
@itemize @bullet
@item
An introduction to MySQL and SQL.
@item
Coverage of MySQL's data types and how to use them.
@item
Thorough treatment of how to write client programs in C.
@item
A guide to using the Perl @code{DBI} and PHP APIs for developing
command-line and Web-based applications.
@item
Tips on administrative issues such as user accounts, backup,
crash recovery, and security.
@item

@item

functions, and SQL statements and utilities.

This book teaches you how to use MySQL and @code{mSQL}, two popular
and robust database products that support key subsets of SQL on both Linux
and Unix systems. Anyone who knows basic C, Java, Perl, or Python can
write a program to interact with a database, either as a stand-alone
application or through a Web page. This book takes you through the
whole process, from installation and configuration to programming
interfaces and basic administration. Includes plenty of tutorial

you will learn from the authors' real-world knowledge and experience of
developing software for Linux; you'll be taken through the development

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

of 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.

three simple themes: indirection, class hierarchies, and memory
management. It also provides in-depth coverage of template creation,
exception handling, pointers and optimisation techniques. The focus of
the book is on ANSI C++ and, as such, is compiler independent.
