[Cialug] Mysql 4.1

[Carl Olsen]

Oops, "MySQL" by Paul DuBois is published by Developers Library
(www.developers-library.com), and "MySQL Cookbook", published by O'Reilly,
is also by Paul DuBois and covers MySQL 4.0.  I'm not sure there is a good
book out yet on 4.1 or 5.  If DuBois comes out with a newer version of
either of these two books, that would be my first choice.

I have "MySQL" by Paul DuBois, Second Edition by SAMS Publishing.  It covers
version 4, but I'm not sure if it covers 4.1.  It's probably one of the best
I've seen.  I've also got a MySQL Cookbook by O'Reilly, but it may be
version 3.  It's a great book.  For version 5, I bought "Pro MySQL" by
Apress and "Beginning PHP and MySQL 5: From Novice to Professional, Second
Edition" by Apress, although they just don't cover the newer stuff like
Prepared Statements and Stored Procedures very well.  If you go to the MySQL
website, you'll see people complaining about the lack of documentation on
these new features.  I might take a chance and buy "The Definitive Guide to
MySQL 5, Third Edition" by Apress, but I'll have to read some reviews first
to see if it covers things better than the books I already have.  I've had
the same problem finding good documentation for PostgreSQL stored
procedures.

I'm looking for a new MySql book. I have  "Mysql" by Paul Dubios,
published by "New Riders"  Its an excellant book. However, it covers
3.26.  I've been wearing it out for about 5 years now...

I'm looking for 4.1.  There's lot out there for 4.0, but 4.1 jumped into
sub-selects etc. Does anyone have a 4.1 book that extensively covers
sub-selects, etc. Got something that is written with a style similiar to
that of Paul Dubois?

:) Dave
