[Adrian · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some great chapters on MySQL general server and storage engine optimization. Material is applicable to MySQL 4.1 and 5.x, although it doesn't cover all of 5.x's features. Intended for advanced admins/developers. Available online at Safari Books. [Read cover-to-cover]

Good information but sometimes you have to dig around to get to it. Too much prostelytizing about their database; just tell us how to optimize our schemas, we don't need to hear how great you are.
