Database Design Manual Using MySQL for Windows

This book should appeal to anyone who needs more insight into how databases work in relation to the web. If you are completely new to using MySQL then this book will serve as a good introduction to the software. With an internet connection, you can easily obtain
MySQL and associated tools at no cost. 
This book will also be of benefit to someone wanting to learn SQL. While working through the examples you will get a firm understanding of the concepts behind structured query language and how you use it to communicate with databases. 
If you are a web designer this book should also appeal if you want to see how the database can influence your web design. You can see what is going on behind the scenes with a web database.
If you are a hardened database programmer then this book may have a place in your
library if you want to see what MySQL does specifically, or how it can interface with other
systems.
The book also gives a brief introduction to database design, and shows how an efficiently designed database can improve the performance of MySQL. Lots of books about SQL and databases start with a lot of theory. The theory normally describes the “relational model” and instils terror into all but the most technical reader! I’m not going to do this here.You do not have to learn about databases by looking at the theory. I want you to learn how to use MySQL, and by association Structured Query Language (SQL).You may pick up a bit of the theory on the way.
