OT: Looking for recommendations for a MySQL DBA/light prorramming book

Can anyone recommend a MySQL book that's current and covers database
admin and, optionally, some sql programming (in PHP, of course.) I
have the MuSQL PDF ref but I like a book I can read when I'm away from
my PC.

Thanks.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

Bar none. Get the following:

"MySQL" by Paul DuBois, New Riders Publishing - a simply excellent
reference on the MySQL database. Contains very detailed information
and plenty of examples including PERL DBI and PHP4. Has excellent
information on table optimization and key selection.
