can't say that I found anything with books relating to the subject but I have found some decent resources: http://mysql-dba-journey.blogspot.com/search/label/MySQL%20for%20Oracle%20DBAs http://www.pythian.com/news/13369/notes-on-learning-mysql-as-an-oracle-dba/ Rui Amaral Database Administrator ITS - SSG TD Bank Financial Group 220 Bay St., 11th Floor Toronto, ON, CA, M5K1A2 (bb) (647) 204-9106 ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Kerber Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 2:13 PM To: ORACLE-L Subject: OT: Looking for a Good My Sql book for an Oracle DBA Can someone point me to a good book on MySql for the Oracle DBA? I found a couple, but all they talked about was SQL programming, and frankly adding another SQL variant isn't what you call difficult for me these days. What I need is something that talks about the MySql equivalent of tablespaces and data files, backup and recovery, configuration, user account management, schema management (the one useful piece of knowledge I found in the books is that MySql calls a schema a database), and other general DBA tasks, -- Andrew W.
