How This Book Is Organized
This book is broken up into 14 chapters and 3 appendixes, as follows.
Part I, Introduction and Tutorials
Chapter 1, Introduction to MySQL, explains the major components of MySQL and useful guidelines for other information on MySQL.
Chapter 2, Installing MySQL, describes how to get MySQL running on common operating systems supported by MySQL AB. It is necessary to read this chapter only if your system does not already have MySQL installed.
Chapter 3, MySQL Basics,

mysql command-line interface. It’s not a
replacement for learning SQL and relational database design, but it can be useful to
orient you to MySQL.

Chapter 4, Security and User Statements and Functions, covers SQL statements and functions related to the management of user accounts and security.
Chapter 5, Database and Table Schema Statements, lists, explains, and provides examples of SQL statements and functions related to the creating, altering, and dropping of databases, tables, indexes, and views.
Chapter 6, Data Manipulation Statements and Functions, covers any SQL statements and functions that involve the manipulation of data—inserting, updating, replacing, or deleting.
Chapter 7, Table and Server Administration Statements and Functions, includes details and examples related to SQL statements and functions that might be used in the administration of databases, tables, or the server.
