A little over a year since the project to write this book began, the MySQL 5.1 Cluster Certification Study Guide is now at long last available. It covers everything you’ll need to know to pass the Certified MySQL Cluster 5.1 Database Administrator exam, including MySQL Cluster Concepts, Architecture, Configuration, Deployment, NDB Internals basics, High Availability techniques, Security Issues, and more.
(It does not cover MySQL Cluster 5.1 Carrier Grade Edition, for the simple reason that MCCGE features are not part of the official mainline MySQL 5.1 release. However, those features will be part of MySQL 6.0 [yes, MySQL 6.0 is already starting to happen, and there are already some cool new Cluster, Replication, and XML features in the 6.0 tree, but I’m starting to get off-topic here…], and there’s a good chance that there will be a 6.0 version of the certification course and book in a year or so.)
In addition to yours truly, the authors include NDB developer Stewart Smith, Pro MySQL author Mike Kruckenberg, and MySQL training course developer (and former MySQL certification exam developer) Roland Bouman. Roland also helped me edit and index. (Did I mention that this is my first official Editor credit? Yay.)
You can order your copy here, and still have time to read it and then get certified on MySQL 5.1 Cluster before MySQL 5.1 is GA.
