I've got about four books on MySQL, including one on using MySQL for
web development, but the book I would recommend for both your needs is
'MySQL' by Paul DuBois. The book is a little out of date and you will
need to check the on line manual to see what has changed, especially
for SQL. But it covers the basics of SQL and performance better than
anything else. Almost all your beginning questions will be answered
there.
For a more advanced treatment of performance, Jeremy's book sounds
like the best bet, when it comes out.
