Perhaps you didn't understand it correctly?
Perhaps because not everyone is intelligent enough to learn MySQL in less
then 21 days?
I don't know that particular book myself but the book MySQL written by Paul
DuBois took me much less then 21 days :-) I have yet to find a simular book
about PostgreSQL..
IMO there's no valid reason for MySQL bashing. I'm not going to defend
either one because that kind of discussion leads to nowhere.
