    Advice about books for a total newbie

    Hi,
    I'm very new to MySQL. My main interest is Data Modeling. My only knowledge of MySQL comes from "My SQL" by Paul DuBois. Great book but I think that actually to start doing things I need more. Could you help me?

    Thanks,
    jvocat

    I've been using MySQL for about 5 years (query programming + administration), and there are two resources that I use on a regular basis:

    - The online mysql documentation, for when I need a syntax reminder
    - "Pro MySQL" by Kruckenberg and Pipes. Excellent explanation for some pretty common administration & query programming scenarios.

    You might also try a "MySQL Cookbook" kind of book to help you get off the ground. Your learning style may be different, but I always learn best by doing. The examples will help you develop some best practices as well.
