When there are multiple books available for one topic, it’s certainly hard to find the best one and I would say for MySQL database there are plenty books but not every topic is written in that much detail like you see in this book.This book explains MySQL core concepts effectively and hands of activities boost your confidence.This book covers everything you need to know to admin a MySQL database

Good books on MySQL for beginners are rare and excellent ones are even rarer. I often get requests from novices starting with MySQL or intermediates looking to level up on recommendations on books targeted at their level. The MySQL Workshop by Thomas Pettit and Scott Cosentino is a must buy for those two groups, or those of us who would like a handy refereThis is a great book and I recommend getting a copy regardless of your MySQL expertise.The BasicsAt seven hundred pages, this book has a wide scope that starts with background concepts like data normalization, proceeds into creating databases, SQL, and administration. And there are sections on programming with Node.js, working with Microsoft applications, loading data, DBA tasks, and logical backups. There are exercises at the end of the chapters with solutions at the end of the book.Writing such a book is a tremendous task and the authors need to be applauded as they have produced a great book.The Nitty-GrittyMySQL is a complex product and introducing concepts with a fresh approach is hard to do but this book does it consistently. Complex topics like creating functions are explained thoroughly without being bogged down in minute details.Does it cover everything? Nope, and no book under a few thousand pages will ever do that (while keeping pace with product development). There are minor omissions like constraint checks which a still fairly new but I would like to point you to the section on triggers that is the clearest explanation on the subject I have found.The writing style is concise, the formatting easy on the eyes, and I am sure the book will be very popular.

I recommend this book to MySQL beginners with one caveat - you may remain a novice. The book could benefit form consolidating best practices that are scattered throughout the book in unexpected places, e.g. the section on Node.js introduces separation of development and production environments. I would recommend best practices like (must-have) column COMMENTs, choosing DECIMAL data type for the price, or INT UNSIGNED for identifiers to be promoted from the start of learning MySQL. The introductory sections could be further improved as data normalization is used before its explanation, a compilation step in MySQL query processing is introduced without any reference, or caveats of stale query cache are not described.What I enjoyed most is the hands-on training opportunity that this book provides. This makes the book valuable to all levels of MySQL users, thanks to coverage of new features introduced in MySQL 8.0. (The advanced readers would be less confused by use of UDF term for the stored functions.)I commend Thomas Pettit and Scott Cosentino for introducing hands-on approach to learning MySQL that accomplished a formidable task of developing countless exercises. I look forward to the next revised and expanded edition.
