Product Description
High Performance MySQL is the definitive guide to building fast, reliable systems with MySQL. Written by noted experts with years of real-world experience building very large systems, this book covers every aspect of MySQL performance in detail, and focuses on robustness, security, and data integrity. High Performance MySQL teaches you advanced techniques in depth so you can bring out MySQL's full power. Learn how to design schemas, indexes, queries and advanced MySQL features for maximum performance, and get detailed guidance for tuning your MySQL server, operating system, and hardware to their fullest potential. You'll also learn practical, safe, high-performance ways to scale your applications with replication, load balancing, high availability, and failover. This second edition is completely revised and greatly expanded, with deeper coverage in all areas. Major additions include:
  • Emphasis throughout on both performance and reliability
  • Thorough coverage of storage engines, including in-depth tuning and optimizations for the InnoDB storage engine
  • Effects of new features in MySQL 5.0 and 5.1, including stored procedures, partitioned databases, triggers, and views
  • A detailed discussion on how to build very large, highly scalable systems with MySQL
  • New options for backups and replication
  • Optimization of advanced querying features, such as full-text searches
  • Four new appendices
The book also includes chapters on benchmarking, profiling, backups, security, and tools and techniques to help you measure, monitor, and manage your MySQL installations.

5 out of 5 stars The best book about creating software with High Aviability & Scalability in mind (not only using MySQL!)   May 23, 2010
FractalizeR (Russia, Moscow)
This is just the best book I've read about creating software, that needs high availability and high scalability. You think, this is book is only about MySQL? Surprise! It's not, actually. Yes, some details apply only to MySQL, but common technical things such as data sharding, caching, clustering etc. can be applied to any software.

Reading this book I've learned like I read about 10 different books on the subject. Highly recommended! It's a pity there is no Russian translation available.



4 out of 5 stars Good book   April 2, 2010

Good book, with detailed explanations, but it could get more detailed (that's why only 4 stars and not 5).


4 out of 5 stars A good start point into high performance   February 11, 2010
Lucas de L. Lorenzo (Madrid, Spain)
It's a good start point into high performance tunning, but not a deep into every concept, which is not possible in a single book. The book dives into some benchmark, optimization of queries, the capabilities of every storage engine, and also its weaknesses, some compared backup strategies, replication, and master-slave configurations, all well explained, up to MySQL 5.1, but with new versions in mind. I enjoy this book, although some concerns are hard by nature, and some kind of query optimization could be more graphical to better understanding.


5 out of 5 stars Very useful... just very useful.   November 11, 2009

How come I did not comment on this book before? Its been some time since I got it, read it, and used it! That's what this book is... useful, very useful. We had to optimize a DB, specially a huge table with millions of numbers and managed to go from tens of seconds to milisecs. I would say it was.. well, very useful;)


5 out of 5 stars PERFECT BOOK! JUMP INTO ACTION IN FEW PAGES   October 10, 2009
F. Levanti (Firenze - Florence, Italy IT)
A good book for developers that want more. They want to optimize their scripts and really understand how MYSQL works also behind the scene.

A must have book
