Praise for High Performance MySQL, 4th Edition
I love that this new edition shifts the book’s emphasis to a modern, pragmatic mindset of
team players delivering business value. It moves past the previous editions’ myopic focus
on gnarly internals and theory to wring out diminishing returns, toward a more holistic
perspective. The ‘how databases work’ material is still covered thoroughly, but now with a
fresh, humanistic take that is greatly needed.
—Baron Schwartz, Lead author of High Performance MySQL,
2nd and 3rd editions
High Performance MySQL has been a staple of the MySQL world since the first edition 17
years ago. MySQL moves ever onward, and Silvia and Jeremy have done an excellent job
bringing this essential work up to date with modern MySQL.
—Jeremy Cole
Updated to meet modern practices, this latest edition is rich with solid advice for
MySQL administrators and developers.
