Browsing the MySQL Documentation by Topic
The MySQL Reference Manual is huge - far more than 2000 pages. On the
MySQL documentation team, we've been discussing how to split it into
easier to digest portions. But a real split doesn't seem the best thing
to do, so we've decided to make use of our Arbitrary Docs System
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqldoc-guide/en/mysqldoc-guide-tools-arby.html)
that allows to create arbitrarily compiled documents from the MySQL
Manual. That system, called Arby for short, was written by MC Brown, and
creates "dynamic" excerpts from our documentation sources, rather than
static copies, thus those excerpts are always as up to date as the
complete Manual.
On the MySQL Documentation Library page (http://dev.mysql.com/doc) we've
added a table with documents that serve the information needs of
specific target groups, such as database administrators or developers.
Those documents are viewable online, and can also be downloaded in PDF
format. Some highlights:
* Security guide
* MySQL guides for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows users
* Backup & recovery guide
* Partitioning guide
* HA/Scalability guide incorporating MySQL Proxy, memcached and DRBD
In addition, we've also added direct links into the existing online
manuals for key sections, such as the connectors, replication and SQL
Syntax sections so that no matter who you are, you should be able to
visit that page and instantly find what you want.
You can find all topics on this page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc#topic-guides. We're open for suggestions to add
additional guides or topics to be added to that list - just send a mail
to docs@xxxxxxxxx!
Regards,
Stefan
