Official Guide to Mini SQL 2.0 [With Contains Mini SQL Version 2.0]

Some reviewers have mentioned that they found errors in the book. I'd like to point out that one of the key goals in creating Jepstone.net was to offer new releases of the example code as well as support forums for my books. Ideally, there shouldn't be any errors in a book, and I apologize for any that lurk in the pages. However, I'm committed to helping you: the forums give you an opportunity to let me know about any issues you have, and I promise that I will do everything I can to resolve them quickly.

This book is the ultimate mSQL resource. I couldn't live without it

Very useful for programmers and web masters wishing to set up a web database online.

Boy, was I glad when this book finally came out. Sure, there are mailing lists and discussion groups devoted to MiniSQL (aka mSQL), but what I really wanted was a well-edited, authoritative guide to the best nearly free SQL database implementation. "Official Guide to MiniSQL 2.0" is almost everything I was hoping for. It certainly is authoritative, given that mSQL's creator, David Hughes, is the coauthor. It's also comprehensive, covering not only what mSQL can do but also, and more importantly for practical purposes, how you can interface with mSQL via Java, Perl, and other languages by using existing APIs. The downside to that breadth of coverage, however, is fewer examples of complete database applications. Ironically, mSQL doesn't really need the in-depth coverage as much as do the various APIs (from MsqlPerl to DBD::mSQL). Nevertheless, "Offical Guide to MiniSQL 2.0" is an indispensable resource for anyone using or considering MiniSQL.

with this book you'll get not only a simple to use database for unix/linux - it's more : you'll also get introducions to HTML, PHP/FI, Perl, JAVA, ... and how to integrate mSQL in your applications ...
