Andy (and Natalie), In fact the O'Reilly book on PHP is the exception that might well prove the rule - normally I think them v.good

The reference work on MySQL is by Paul DuBois (who often stops by here - "hi Paul") and published by New Riders.

This is a wonderful reference book for MySQL. I have it open on my desk at work constantly, and probably use it at least 5 times as week.

Unfortunately none of my favorite texts (of the moment) go into the background of db theory, eg normalisation. Perhaps one of the (recent) students on the list can help with that one...

Any O'Reilly book is always a good choice. O'Reilly is the publisher - they do the "Nutshell" books and a bunch of others. They are also the books with animals on them, if that helps :-) -Natalie
