I took a half-semester course in microsoft access, which is a pointy-clicky kind of microsoft office product suitable for small businesses. I decided to delve into the specifics and this was good and to-the-points. It's 5 to 10 minutes of reading per chapter (sometimes less!) and it's: here are these commands, this is what they do, don't make these mistakes. It didn't feel like much of a chore to learn this. However, four stars because I had a lot of trouble setting up MySQL and the book was a terrible resource for figuring out how it worked and how to use it. So that was a pretty sore spot. Otherwise, I'll be keeping this around since it's written in a way that is... very 'atomic,' it will also make a great reference source in the future (while still not reading like ikea instructions). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I wanted *by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2013* I have been using MySQL for years and it's easy to get by with the basic SELECT, DELETE, UPDATE statements. Recently I discovered the powers of JOIN statements and realized how much more was possible. I have only read a few chapters of this but I'm already impressed. It's just what I wanted because it gives you the syntax and gritty details of each feature without getting tedious and turning into a 1000 page reference manual.I can already tell I'm going to be poking around this book for years to come. I think this does a great job of filling in the gaps for someone who can already write a basic SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT statement but is looking for more. Seems good from a new user perspective too but if you haven't at least looked at some online tutorials and tested some basic statements for yourself then I would recommend doing that and then reading this book immediately afterward. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ clear concise and comprehensive *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2008* If you are considering MySQL you may not know how, but you are not a dummy. This book is not for dummys in that it doesn't patronize nor take you into convoluted scenarios, this book is for the reasonably intelligent who want to do stuff. What a blessing.I was familiar with databases having worked with MS Access, but I had never worked with SQL. This book hit the spot in showing me what I needed to know to get going. I am now using MySQL successfully with a Java/Struts front end. While I found a few small gaps in this book, it has helped tremendously in my learning journey in that it gets to the point with minimum emotional overhead and verbosity, unlike  MySQL (4th Edition) (Developer's Library)  which I have found to be pretty useless and weighty after reading Forta's book.This book has clear, short, well labeled chapters to find what you need. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4607029-mysql-crash-course](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4607029-mysql-crash-course) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
