High Performance MySQL: Optimization, Backups, and Replication Review: A must have for any MySQL DBA or developer! - I am extremely pleased with my purchase of High Performance MySQL, 3rd edition. I own the 2nd edition and my company recently upgraded to 5.5 so getting the 3rd edition was a no brainer. The book is extremely well organized and more information has been added to every single chapter. The new chapter on MySQL in the cloud is a timely welcome addition. The section on solid stage storage is also an example of how the contents have been updated to reflect the latest technology and trends. The book is full of real world scenarios and solutions the folks at Percona have encountered over the years. They do a great job of noting where features and functionality differs between 5.5 and 5.1 and also make reference to known features coming in 5.6. The level of detail contained within is much deeper than you will find in the online documentation and the authors do a great job of making clear the circumstances where features, configurations, engines and hardware may help or hurt with your specific application. If you are brand new to MySQL this is probably not the right choice for you. The information is presented in a very accessible way though and if you are coming from another RDBMS or have a decent technical background and are committed to learning more MySQL, I recommend it highly. The book is definitely biased towards Linux which the authors admit in the foreward. But even if you are running a WAMP stack you will still find tons of useful information inside. I'm constantly pulling this book off my shelf to look up something real quick; either to confirm a thought or see if the experts have anything else to add on the subject. I can't wait for the 4th edition covering 5.6! Review: Must read for making MySQL perform - If you want to make MySQL perform well, understand the deeper underpinnings related to performance and some administrative tasks, there's a surprising amount of information in the text. The authors guide you through understanding and not just provide platitudes. They show you how to profile a server and use that to help you optimize (focused performance improvement vs. tuning -- implying random tweaking) your server and environment based on their experience. Their shared experience is more than worth the price of the book. They offer some tactics scattered throughout that may be really useful like Computing the Distance Between Points (used in mapping applications)), improving high volume counters using a counter table, and the fastest way to transfer large files. You need this if you want to optimize MySQL. (They cover Replication, Clustering, Sharding, Backup & Recovery, HA among many other topics as well.) 11.8.2013 - Still very good. The authors provide deep insights. Must have. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,063,599 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Computer Performance Optimization #105 in MySQL Guides #277 in SQL | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (148) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.72 x 9.19 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 1449314287 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1449314286 | | Item Weight | 2.86 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 823 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2012 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![High Performance MySQL: Optimization, Backups, and Replication - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QQw8ekOJL.jpg) ![High Performance MySQL: Optimization, Backups, and Replication - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71F8hkbD35L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for any MySQL DBA or developer! *by J***R on September 8, 2012* I am extremely pleased with my purchase of High Performance MySQL, 3rd edition.

Very highly recommended for - 1. This is a practitioner's book. e.g., when it covers "clustered table", it also explains why the secondary indexes on InnoDB tables will be wider than usual. Such similar references are across the book. 2. Especially, chapter 5 and 6 are of outstanding value to grok MySQL optimization and parsing subroutines. Pair it with Charles Bell "Expert MySQL" to understand what optimizer actually does and how it is very different from other databases you have worked with (e.g., no hash join etc.) This would be a straight 5-stars if - 3. It covered some of the newer features of MySQL 5.6 (or 5.7+) 4. Be a little laconic in most, especially earlier, chapters. e.g., does it really need another 35 pages to go over "why and what you should tune"? 5. Real-life use cases the top 1-percent of MySQL users who need to extract full juice out of it (e.g., handler interfaces). Overall, great book, hope authors rush a 4th edition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1704269-high-performance-mysql-optimization-backups-and-replication](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1704269-high-performance-mysql-optimization-backups-and-replication) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
