Book Review: High Performance MySQL

"In the first chapters, the authors briefly review some basics of MySQL. The concepts they discuss are pertinent to database performance. Chapter 1 explains the configuration file my.cnf and how it can be set to improve a MySQL server. The authors also discuss the results of the SHOW VARIABLES statement and the SHOW PROCESSLIST statement so that an administrator can determine where the MySQL service is being slowed because of inefficiencies."
