High Performance MySQL, Second Edition

I see that there is a new edition of the book “High Performance MySQL” in the works.

That is good to see and I hope that they add a lot to the book. Frankly that would not be difficult because the first edition sucked. I had been using MySQL for all of 6 months when I got it and I did not learn anything new.

On the other hand the book is useful if you don’t know anything about MySQL, but there are a number of better books out there than that one.
