Peter and Byron are really smart guys and very methodical in their tests to make sure the conclusions produced are rock solid. I don't know whats in the book, but if these guys made it, its going to be good-that's how much faith I have.

Thanks for the kind words.
i own the book (1st edition, german) and must say, that this is by far the best mysql book ever!
instead of just printing the documentation the authors will show you real-world problems and their solutions.
you will gain detailed knowledge of mysqls storage engines, their differnet behaviour and additional system environment setups for high performance web applications...
great book and i will get the new edition asap.

Hey Dathan,
Enjoyed your slides on Flickr stats. I also have the first version of this book and have found it of immense value.
However what the book didn't cover and your presentation did to an extent... is strategies to set up MySQL for stats and analytics.
We all know that running a reporting query on a table that contains the raw logs is a no-no. But it is not clear what the right "lightweight" approach should be (short of implementing a complete BI solution).
Ie.
- How should the data be aggregated?
- What sort of schema is ideal?
- How often? (I'm amazed that sites such as Google Analytics and Statcounter are able to provide almost up to the minute stats with such high traffic)
I was wondering maybe you could either present some thoughts or if you knew a book or article that
discusses this?
Justin
