I’de love to review the chapters on Finding Bottlenecks, Query Performance and Scaling and High Availability. I would certainly try to apply that knowledge in real-life applications

I can’t tell now but we have good progress other coming months.

Right now you can get old book it is still quite good in basics and for advanced stuff Internet is best anyway.
Jay Pipe’s Pro MySQL also should be decent.

I know that asking when a book will be finished is like asking when 5.1 GA of MySQL will be released! However I would like to buy the book, and was wondering if I should wait until the 2nd edition is out (if it’s going to be weeks).
If it’s going to be months, is it still worth getting the first edition, or is it too dated now?

I really enjoyed reading the first edition and I would like to help reviewing (Chapters “Replication”, “Backup and Recovery” and “Server Performance Tuning” – in this order…).

Cheers,
Martin

I would also be interested in reviewing the book. I feel the mysql manual doesn’t do a good enough job explaining the pro’s and cons of using various mysql features. Like when does it make sense to use merge tables, partitioning, federated tables, mysql cluster, circular replication and/or dbrd and in what combinations. Also I’d like to hear from people with real experience how mature these technologies are and what kind of pitfalls they’ve run into. Also some discussion of the various storage engines and their current performance and future potential would be helpful.

You’ve already done some of that in your blog, but it would be nice to have it all in a single reference.
