Preface

MySQL is the most popular open-source database and is also known for its easy set up. However, proper configuration beyond the default settings is still a challenge, along with some other day-to-day maintenance tasks such as indexing and replication.

This book provides both step-by-step recipes and relevant background information on these two topics. All recipes are based on real-world experience and were derived from proven solutions used in an enterprise environment.

Note
