ProMySQL NDB Cluster is subtitled Master the MySQL Cluster Lifecycle and at nearly 700 pages it is vital resource to anyone that runs or is thinking about running NDB Cluster. The authors, Jesper Wisborg Krogh and Mikiya Okuno, have distilled their vast knowledge of this difficult subject in a detail packed but easily readable book. MySQL Cluster is much more complex in many areas than a regular MySQL server and here you will find all those details. If you run MySQL NDB Cluster then you need this book. The partitioning information in chapter 2 is worth the price of the book alone. I am only a third of the way through the book and have found it as clear and concise as any technical book I have read and it is actually an easy read.
MariaDB and MySQL Common Table Expressions and Window Functions Revealed by Daniel Bartholomew is a slender introduction to CTEs and Window functions. If you were raised on MySQL and do not know either subject well, then I highly recommend this book. CTEs are going to have a big impact on the way developers write sub queries and may cause self joins to become extinct. Windowing functions will bring a new eave of analytical analysis to MySQL. This book is just over 100 pages and has useful examples for novices in either area.
More books! Well yes, there are more MySQL books in the works so save your pocket change in order to buy them when they appear.
