    About this ebook

    This cookbook presents solutions to problems in the form of recipes. Each recipe provides the reader with easy step-by-step descriptions of the actions necessary to accomplish a specific task. Example values and code samples are used throughout the recipes, which makes adaptation for individual needs easy. This book is for ambitious MySQL users as well as professional data center database administrators. Beginners as well as experienced administrators will benefit from this cookbook and get fresh ideas to improve their MySQL environments. Detailed background information will enable them to widen their MySQL horizon. It does not cover SQL basics, how to install MySQL servers, or how to design a relational database schema.

      About the Authors

      Daniel Schneller works as a software developer, database administrator, and general IT professional for an independent software vendor in the retail sector. After successfully graduating from the University of Cooperative Education in Heidenheim, Germany with a degree in Business Computer Science, he started his career as a professional software developer, focused on the Microsoft technology stack. In 2002, he started focusing on enterprise-level Java development and has since gained extensive knowledge and experience implementing large scale systems based on Java EE and relational databases, especially MySQL since version 4.0.

      Currently, he is mostly involved with the ongoing development of framework-level functionality, including customization and extension of an ORM-based persistence layer. He is involved in different open source projects such as FindBugs, Eclipse, and Checkstyle, and infrequently blogs about Java, MySQL, Windows, Linux, and other insanities at http://www.danielschneller.com.

      When I first was asked by Packt Publishing whether I would be interested in writing a book about MySQL on Christmas Eve 2008 little did I know how much work, stress, but also what a lot of fun I was headed for.

      Now, that the book is finally done I would like to thank those people without whom getting it done would have been impossible.

      First of all, I'd like to thank Udo for agreeing to be my co-author. Without him, this whole thing would have taken a lot longer and would have been not half as useful as I believe it has turned out now.

      I would also like to thank the team at Packt Publishing—most importantly for noticing and reading my blog, consequently contacting me to get the whole thing started—but also for taking care of schedules, providing support, guidance and feedback, and keeping us on track the whole way.

      Last, but by no means least, I want to thank Jenny—for encouraging me to write a book in the first place, and then making sure I never ran out of tea, cookies, or motivation on the countless evenings I spent sitting in front of the keyboard instead of with her. I dedicate this book to her.

      Udo Schwedt has over ten years of experience in the IT industry as a professional Java developer and software architect. He is head of the Java architecture team and deputy head of the Java development department at the IT service provider for Germany's market leader in the Do-It-Yourself sector.

      He has been fascinated by computers since his childhood, and taught himself the basics of programming during his school years. After graduating from school, he began his studies at the RWTH Aachen, Germany, which he finished with a summa cum laude degree in computer science, minoring in psychology with a focus on software ergonomics.

      Udo started his career as a professional C, C++, and Java developer in a software company that delivers leading solutions in the financial online transaction processing sector. In 2003, he joined his current employer as a Java framework developer for a large-scale international project, where he met Daniel. In the course of the project, he gained extensive experience in using MySQL in a professional context.

      For both Daniel and Udo, the common project involved the design and implementation of a database infrastructure solution for a Java-based merchandise management software system with tens of thousands of clients. The evaluation of different database systems and the realization of the infrastructure made it necessary for them to delve into MySQL beyond the typical utilization scenarios. The resulting decentralized multi-platform environment based on more than 500 decentralized MySQL server instances with more than 5,500 replication slaves bears challenges not covered by the standard MySQL documentation.

      To the Packt Publishing team: Thank you for critiques, encouragement, and organization.

      To Daniel: Thank you so much for your confidence in me. I still feel honored you asked me to co-author this book—you should know better
