This book is primarily for people who don’t know much about deploying and using an actual database-management system, or about developing applications that use a database. We provide a readable introduction to relational databases, the MySQL database management system, the Structured Query Language (SQL), and the PHP and Perl programming languages. We also cover some quite advanced material that will be of interest even to experienced database users. Readers with some exposure to these topics should be able to use this book to expand their repertoire and deepen their understanding of MySQL in particular, and database techniques in general.
