Book description
To help you get the most out of MySQL in large, demanding environments, this book goes beyond the basics to explain how MySQL works "under the hood." You'll learn how to maximize the speed and robustness of MySQL through advanced configuration, and methods to optimize everything from schemas, queries, server settings and applications to operating systems, and hardware -- topics that typical MySQL books don't cover very well.
