I really like Jeremy Zawodny's book "High Performance MySQL" which you can find here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596003064 He also maintains a website with some great presentations. It's located here: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/ If you're interested in hot backups for your MySQL database, then you should check out the InnoD hotbackup manual at: http://www.innodb.com/manual.php#Backup_manual Hope this helps, Jamie On Fri, 17 Sep 2004 08:51:41 -0500, Duret, Kathy <kduret@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > We now have to support Mysql...besides the mysql site are there any good > forums or sites or books to check out? > > This is for two small databases, very simple. > > Kathy > -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
