MySQL
MySql is a very popular relational database for a number of reasons: it is free for most applications; while not open source it is heavily used by the open source community; and it runs easily on Windows and UNIX.
The author's approach is to use two sample databases to explain SQL (structured query) databases with Perl, PHP, and C; administering MySql; and security.
This book will be very popular with users who already understand relational databases and are trying to move from Microsoft or Oracle to MySql.
