Boy, was I glad when this book finally came out. Sure, there are mailing lists and discussion groups devoted to MiniSQL (aka mSQL), but what I really wanted was a well-edited, authoritative guide to the best nearly free SQL database implementation. "Official Guide to MiniSQL 2.0" is almost everything I was hoping for. It certainly is authoritative, given that mSQL's creator, David Hughes, is the coauthor. It's also comprehensive, covering not only what mSQL can do but also, and more importantly for practical purposes, how you can interface with mSQL via Java, Perl, and other languages by using existing APIs. The downside to that breadth of coverage, however, is fewer examples of complete database applications. Ironically, mSQL doesn't really need the in-depth coverage as much as do the various APIs (from MsqlPerl to DBD::mSQL). Nevertheless, "Offical Guide to MiniSQL 2.0" is an indispensable resource for anyone using or considering MiniSQL.

If you are new to PHP, this is the book to get. Dont go anywhere, this book is simply one of the best introductory books on computer programming i have ever bought. It makes PHP learning fast, fun and easy. It not just covers PHP alone but also covers Databases and teaches SQL from the ground up with code for almost all the known databases in the industry.Thank you Julie Meloni, you are great.

This book is a good examples book. It's organized more like two books in one cover having a fairly discinctive set of PHP and MySQL sections. It tries to be all to everyone for both, and actually does a credible job of pulling this off.

If you are looking for a Transact-SQL for Dummies book, keep looking. This book is not for rank beginners. It is instead for those who already know a bit about SQL Server and Transact-SQL and want to become experts. This book will make you an expert. I've never seen such a deep, all-encompassing collection of expert-level code and commentary in one book. Every example is packed full of useful tidbits and expert techniques. Best parts:1. The Undocumented Transact-SQL chapter -- lots of inside tips and tricks and hidden features here2. The Data Types chapter -- everything from a new Soundex routine to insights on how to deal with dates in Transact-SQL is here.3. The NULLs chapter -- these trip a lot of people up.4. The Sets chapter -- sets in Transact-SQL have never been easier or more powerful.If you study this book and learn its many wonderful lessons, you will become a Guru yourself.
