Obtaining Sample Source Code and Data
The examples in this book are based on source code and sample data
from two distributions named recipes
and mcb-kjv that are available at the

The recipes distribution
contains programs as shown in the book, but in many cases also includes

the book using Python may be available in the recipes distribution in Perl, Ruby, PHP, or
Java as well. This may save you some translation effort should you want
to convert a program as shown in the book to a different
language.
The Kitebird site provides access to the mcb-kjv distribution, which contains the text
of the King James Version of the Bible, formatted suitably for loading
into MySQL. It’s used in Chapter 5, as the source
of a reasonably large body of text for examples that demonstrate
FULLTEXT searches, and occasionally
elsewhere in the book. This distribution is provided separately from the
recipes distribution due to its size.
It’s available as a compressed tar
