Anyone done any MySQL training or have some recommended sources for MySQL performance tweaks or design improvements. We just had a 1.5GB db go down. I think we are at the point where we are going to need to really get a handle on performance MySQL db design.
I just recently got this book...seems pretty decent. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...pd_sxp_f/002-9439805-2945657?v=glance&s=books
The MySQL site itself (Developer tab) is great. You can buy the definitive MySQL reference book as well, although all the info is already on the site. There are other MySQL-specific books on performance, but it sounds like you probably want a SQL book. Check out "Practical SQL Handbook" - one of the all-time best (and most accessible/readable) books on SQL. 95% of critical performance and design factors you will learn from this book and it will work on MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL, and so on.
