MySQL Related Books
In this section you can find some good books on MySQL. As a general policy, we don’t list any books that we don’t think are worth owning. We don’t believe in negative book reviews: just because we don’t like a book doesn’t mean that someone won’t appreciate it. Our book recommendations are grouped by the type of book and topic. This should make it easier for you to find a book suitable to your needs. Click on the heading for the section in which you’re interested and you’ll be shown a list of recommended books.
