I just received my copy of High Performance MySQL (ISBN 0596003064) by Jeremy D. Zawodny (from Yahoo) and Derek J. Balling.

It looks like a pretty good book covering MySQL configuration and setup, storage engine and table types, benchmarking, indexing, query optimization, app design, server performance, replication, load balancing, backup and recovery, and finally security.

I will try to post some tips, nuggets, and reviews as I go through the book.

Anyone else read the book? What do you think?
