Good book for beginners
. If you are new to databases and want to learn how to install MySQL, use mysql, mysqladmin.. to learn basics of database design, DDL, DML, DCL. . . then this is book for you. If you are not beginner I guess that somtimes you'll find this authors are explaining too much. . . but I'm sure that you'll learn something new.

In this book you can read few pages on database design, 3 normal forms are included, ACID, transactions, database optimisation, backup. . .

Easy to read and for a beginner much better then some serious book that is hard to read and understand.
