Sorry for my approach. But I didn't mean it. I'm keen on learning things
related to linux. I need to learn mysql. But not for the sake of interview.

Hi to everybody,
I'm seeking for a linux system admin job. Recruiters are expecting the
MySQL skill. What should I learn in MySQL and how?
MySQL is a relational database. Administering MySQL or for that
matter any database is called Database Administration or DBA for
short. A DBA's job is very different from that of a Linux System
Administrator's job. A DBA must know a fair amount of DB theory and
it's implementations in products like MySQL. DBA is a good career
option, but beware, you will be in high demand cleaning up other
people's mess.
First learn about DB theory, then the specifics in MySQL. There is
plenty of good material on dev.MySQL.com.
I just want to learn the
required skill of MySQL to satisfy the recruiters. Please give me a
complete guide. I'm an amateur in MySQL.
IMO, your approach is incorrect. Are you really interested in MySQL
or learning it for the sake of getting an interview? The clueless
recruiter may be able to get you the interview. Believe me you will
not get very far in the interview, if you learn to hack a few MySQL
commands.
Best,
