Product Description This is the official guide to passing the two MySQL certification tests for MySQL 5, the long-awaited major revision of MySQL. The number of MySQL certification exams taken has doubled in the last six months.
Certcities.com lists the MySQL certification as one of the top 10 certifications to grow in 2005. MySQL professionals need a way to distinguish themselves from the vast majority of database administrators and developers. With more than 4 million active installations, MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. Known for its speed, reliability and case of use, MySQL has become a low-cost alternative to expensive database systems such as Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. MySQL AB has aggressively improved the feature set of MySQL with MySQL 5, making it more suitable for enterprise-level applications and uses. The MySQL certification tests, available at over 3,000 PearsonVUE testing centers, is a key component of this enterprise growth strategy, establishing a base level of skills for database users, administrators and programmers.
The MySQL Core Certification is aimed at the database user who wants proof of his or her abilities in such fundamental areas as SQL, data entry and maintenance, and data extraction. The MySQL Professional Certification test is designed for the advanced user who wants to prove his or her knowledge in such areas as database management, installation, security, disaster prevention and optimization. Both tests are thoroughly covered in the MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide. Written by Paul DuBois, the leading author of books on MySQL topics, and reviewed for technical accuracy by MySQL AB, this book is the fastest, most reliable way for MySQL users, developers, and administrators to prepare for either of the MySQL tests. | ||

Concise As many people, when I first got the book I marveled at the size and thought upon myself that a book this large is going to take a long time to read. Realistically I've breezed through it rather rapidly and feel very confident facing the DBA certification. Unlike most I did also read the other Certification Exam's part as my primary job role is a developer I plan to attain both Certifications. Both sections were concise and precise, I learned quite a bit that I had thought I already knew enough about. I would highly recommend this book to anybody with at least some solid foundations in SQL and MySQL. | ||
Read It thoroughly and ur certified Well I've been using Mysql for the last 5 years now and got to say that I already had pretty good hold on it. But through this book I came across numerous interesting things that I was unaware of and no prizes for guessing that I cleared the exam with ease. The book has each and every detail of topics that are asked in the exam and hence is a must for anyone looking to give the exam | ||
Vouchers no longer printed with book This is the book for MySQL CMDBA, CMDEV, and CMA certifications! But please note we do not include vouchers for the exams in the latest printing. | ||
Comprehensive Study Guide If you need the information to study for the MySQL dev and dba exams, this is the book. It covers most everything, but it is more of a manual than a book covering the subject. So although it covers all the material (and then some), it isn't a comfy read. | ||
Good book I like this book. It's easy, clear, and absolutely suitable for new guys to MySQL and preparing for taking the MySQL DBA test. | ||
