Brian Larson, MCSD, MCDBA, is a well-known industry expert and member
of the Reporting Services development team. He has written for SQL
Server Magazine and is the Chief of Technology for Superior Consulting
Services in the Twin Cities.  Beginning MySQL provides you with an instructional tool that gives you a complete look at MySQL, how it is implemented, and how it is accessed from various programming languages. The book takes a taskoriented, step-by-step approach to explain concepts and demonstrate how those concepts are used in real-world situations. The structure of Beginning MySQL supports the complete beginner (those new to databases and SQL) as well as those who are experienced with programming and other database products, but new to MySQL. The book provides the conceptual and background information necessary for all readers to understand individual topics, but each chapter is modular to support those readers who simply dip into different parts of the book to use it as a reference. For example, someone completely new to databases might read the book from cover to cover, applying information learned in one chapter to the material in the next chapter. On the other hand, an experienced PHP programmer might want to reference only the chapters related to SQL statements and PHP connectivity, without having to review chapters on database design or administration. Beginning MySQL describes and demonstrates each step necessary to create a MySQL database and access and manage data in that database. Each chapter correlates with one of the primary tasks necessary to implement MySQL and to access data, either directly or through an application programming language. The goal of the book is to provide you with a complete learning experience.  Paperback: 160 pagesPublisher: Peachpit Press (November 28, 2005)Language: EnglishISBN: 0321414837Like my previous book ("Creating a Database in FileMaker Pro: Visual QuickProject Guide") for FileMaker Pro 7, this hands-on tutorial is designed to help you "learn by doing." By following the numbered steps, you'll create a full-featured, relational database (Investment Minder) that tracks four classes of investments: savings and money market accounts, stocks and mutual funds, CDs, and savings bonds. In the course of working through this book, you'll create fields with auto-enter and validation options, as well as Calculation and Summary fields that perform computations within and across records; define relationships between the four data tables; design data entry layouts (including one that has portals and a tab control -- a new feature of FileMaker Pro 8); design attractive and informative investment reports; and create value lists, scripts, and buttons to automate common and complex actions. Rather than just reading about new features, this book is intended to help you USE them. Whether you're new to FileMaker or just to FileMaker Pro 8, I think you'll find this book an excellent introduction to the process of creating FileMaker databases and putting some of the most important enhancements of FileMaker Pro 8 to work for you.  Your in-depth guide to using the new Microsoft(r) data mining standard to solve today's business problems Concealed inside your data warehouse and data marts is a wealth of valuable information just waiting to be discovered. All you need are the right tools to extract that information and put it to use. Serving as your expert guide, this book shows you how to create and implement data mining applications that will find the hidden patterns from your historical datasets. The authors explore the core concepts of data mining as well as the latest trends. They then reveal the best practices in the field, utilizing the innovative features of SQL Server 2005 so that you can begin building your own successful data mining projects. You'll learn: The principal concepts of data mining How to work with the data mining algorithms included in SQL Server data mining How to use DMX-the data mining query language The XML for Analysis API The architecture of the SQL Server 2005 data mining component How to extend the SQL Server 2005 data mining platform by plugging in your own algorithms How to implement a data mining project using SQL Server Integration Services How to mine an OLAP cube How to build an online retail site with cross-selling features How to access SQL Server 2005 data mining features programmatically |
