Summary

The MySQL® database has become the world's most popular open source database because of its consistent fast performance, high reliability, and ease of use. That’s why best-selling authors Phil Pratt and Mary Last are pleased to introduce their latest database textbook - A Guide to MySQL. This straightforward text utilizes three case databases – Premiere Products, Henry Books, and Alexamara Marina Group – to teach the concepts and techniques of using MySQL. Your students will gain the skills to build professional quality MySQL databases, thanks to this real-world approach. Additional hands-on exercises at the end of each chapter offer students the opportunity to problem-solve based on what they’ve previously learned.
