Ok, I already have Paul DuBios's "Perl and MySQL for the web" book, and I like it a lot. But I want his "MySQL" book, since it seems to go more into how MySQL works in greater detail.. obviously. Can anyone tell me if the 1999 version is still worth paying $40 for? Or should I hold out for the 2003 release in January? I'm sure the 1999 version is at least a little out of date, but is it TOO out of date? I'm kinda tight on cash. Thanks,

hi
that depends ...
is it going to be just a rerelease of the '99 book with errata included or a complete new edition covering the current development progress of mysql?
 
good question. i'm really not sure. i'll try to find out. thanks for the reply,
