It covers what we know well, which is 5.0, in great detail. We know 5.1 a little, but we don't pretend to know for sure about things that haven't been battle-tested and widely deployed. So we mention what we know about 5.1. Our focus is on how to build fast, reliable systems with MySQL. The other authors are Peter Zaitsev, Arjen Lentz, and Vadim Tkachenko, with an appendix on Sphinx from Andrew Aksyonoff, Sphinx's author. Pretty much the top experts in the world :-) Many other experts who aren't writing are helping review. Nothing official yet about TOC. You can browse my blog category on it, which has a lot of chapter outlines and so on: http://www.xaprb.com/blog/category/high-performance-mysql/ Marketing materials and pre-orders ought to be available fairly soon, but I won't promise anything I can't control :-) I'm biased, but I think this book is going to be very, very good. The best book on the topic by a wide margin. But I'll let people judge that for themselves when it's done. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
