Head First SQL: Your Brain on SQL -- A Learner's Guide Ссылки
Maybe you've written some simple SQL queries to interact with databases. But now you want more, you want to really dig into those databases and work with your data. Head First SQL will show you the fundamentals of SQL and how to really take advantage of it. We'll take you on a journey through the language, from basic INSERT statements and SELECT queries to hardcore database manipulation with indices, joins, and transactions. We all know "Data is Power" - but we'll show you how to have "Power over your Data". Expect to have fun, expect to learn, and expect to be querying, normalizing, and joining your data like a pro by the time you're finished reading!
PHP and MySQL: Create - Modify - Reuse Ссылки
In this book, I present basic code for 12 PHP - powered projects that you can use and extend however you wish. I have tried to write them so the code can be easily reused in future applications, but in some instances the entire application can be reused as well!
I ’ ve enjoyed the opportunity to write and share with you this information and I hope you have just as much fun reading it and learning from it. More importantly, I hope you find good, practical uses for the projects found within this book.
Refactoring SQL Applications Ссылки
- Determine if and where you can expect performance gains
- Apply quick fixes, such as limiting calls to the database in stored functions and procedures
- Refactor tasks, such as replacing application code by a stored procedure, or replacing iterative, procedural statements with sweeping SQL statements
- Refactor flow by increasing parallelism and switching business-inducted processing from synchronous to asynchronous
- Refactor design using schema extensions, regular views, materialized views, partitioning, and more
- Compare before and after versions of a program to ensure you get the same results once you make modifications
High Performance MySQL (Second Edition) Ссылки
second edition of High Performance MySQL: Optimizations, Replication, Backups,
and More. It’s not just a book that tells you how to optimize your work to use
MySQL better than ever before. The authors have done considerable extra work, carrying
out and publishing benchmark results to prove their points. This will give you,
the reader, a lot of valuable insight into MySQL’s inner workings that you can’t easily
find in any other book. In turn, that will allow you to avoid a lot of mistakes in
the future that can lead to suboptimal performance.
I recommend this book both to new users of MySQL who have played with the
server a little and now are ready to write their first real applications, and to experienced
users who already have well-tuned MySQL-based applications but need to get
“a little more” out of them.
Expert MySQL Ссылки
Expert MySQL, by Dr. Charles A. Bell, is the first book to examine these opportunities in detail, showing you how to wield maximum control over this powerful open source database. Youll learn how to create your own custom storage handlers, ensuring maximum flexibility and speed within your specialized applications. Youll also gain valuable insight into MySQLs architecture and learn how to tweak its behavior through custom changes to the source code.
