Site Offer With more than 4 million active installations, MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. Known for its speed, high reliability, and ease of use, MySQL is rapidly becoming a low-cost alternative to the more widely used database systems from Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft.

MySQL Certification Study Guide (http://www.pearsoned.co.uk/bookshop/detail.asp?item=100000000065541&affid=TRE) is the official MySQL Press guide to passing the two MySQL certification tests-Core Certification and Professional Certification.

The MySQL Core Certification is aimed at the database professional who wants proof of their ability in fundamental areas of SQL, data entry & maintenance and data extraction. The MySQL Certification test is designed for the advanced user who wants to prove their knowledge in such areas as database management, installation, security, disaster prevention, and optimization.

Both tests are thoroughly covered in the MySQL Certification Study Guide (http://www.pearsoned.co.uk/bookshop/detail.asp?item=100000000065541&affid=TRE), which is just one of nearly 4000 titles Register visitors can purchase from the Reg bookshop (http://www.pearson-books.com/subject.asp?item=6234&affid=TRE) - all with the unbeatable 30 per cent discount.
