General MySQL Reference Books

These reference books are about all or nearly all of MySQL. There may be some specialized topics that are not included, but they cover the aspects of MySQL which are common to almost developers and administrators of MySQL. This grouping of books are primarily reference books, organized similarly to a dictionary. They may include brief tutorials and examples, but weren’t intended to be read in page number order. Instead, you use them to look for information as you need it on a particular SQL statement or function.
