Written by the project leader of phpMyAdmin, and improved over several editions
A step-by-step tutorial for manipulating data with phpMyAdmin
Learn to do things with your MySQL database and phpMyAdmin that you didn’t know were possible!

In Detail

phpMyAdmin is an open source tool written in PHP to handle MySQL administration over the World Wide Web. It can execute SQL statements and manage users and their permissions. However, when it comes to exploiting phpMyAdmin to its full potential, even experienced developers and system administrators are left baffled.
Mastering phpMyAdmin 3.3.x for Effective MySQL Management is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide that walks you through every facet of this efficient tool. Author Marc Delisle draws on his experience as one of the leading developers and project administrator of phpMyAdmin and uses his unique tutorial approach to take full advantage of its potential. This book is filled with illustrative examples that will help you understand every phpMyAdmin feature in detail.
The book helps you get started with installing and configuring phpMyAdmin and looks at its features. You then work on a sample project with two basic tables and perform basic actions such as creating, editing, and deleting data, tables, and databases. You will learn how to create up-to-date backups and import the data that you have exported. You will then explore different search mechanisms and options for querying across multiple tables.

The book gradually proceeds to advanced features such as defining inter-table relations and installing the linked-tables infrastructure. Some queries are out of the scope of the interface and this book will show you how to accomplish these tasks with SQL commands.
New features of version 3.3.x, such as synchronizing databases on different servers and managing MySQL replication to improve performance and data security, are covered in this book. Towards the end of the book you will learn to document your database, track changes made to the database, and manage user accounts using phpMyAdmin server management features.
This book is an upgrade from the previous version that covered phpMyAdmin Version 3.1. Version 3.3.x introduced features such as new import and export modules, tracking changes, synchronizing structure and data between servers, and providing support for replication.
A complete guide to get started with phpMyAdmin 3.3 and master its features by implementing them on your database to your advantage.
What you will learn from this book :

Upload phpMyAdmin to your web server and upgrade to the latest version
Manage multiple servers using a single copy of phpMyAdmin
Protect authentication credentials according to the needs of a users’ group and secure your phpMyAdmin installation using the various available authentication types
Export a table’s structure and data for backup purposes and also use it as a gateway to another application
Import back a table’s structure and data, provided the chosen format is supported by phpMyAdmin
Search for entries in a single-table by specifying the search criteria and also perform a search in the whole database
Define inter-table relations in a relational system and install the linked-tables infrastructure for keeping special metadata
Enter your own SQL queries into phpMyAdmin to perform actions that are beyond the scope of the interface and keep a history of these queries
Produce and maintain good documentation that explains the structure of your databases using the tools offered by phpMyAdmin
Apply transformations to data, in order to customize its format at view time
Administer a MySQL server by managing user accounts and privileges
Troubleshoot some common problems encountered in phpMyAdmin and prevent some of these problems from reoccurring
Save time while retrieving queries by storing them as bookmarks

Approach
This is a step-by-step instructional guide to get you started easily with phpMyAdmin and teach you to manage and perform database functions on your database. You will first be introduced to the interface and then build basic tables and perform both simple and advanced functions on the created database. The book progresses gradually and you will follow it best by reading it sequentially.
Who this book is written for
If you are a developer or system administrator or web designer who wants to manage MySQL databases and tables efficiently, this book is for you. This book assumes you already are well acquainted with MySQL basics. This book is a must-read for every serious phpMyAdmin user who would like to use this outstanding application to its full power.

Mesothelioma law firm launches new information portal

2011-09-09T08:56:00.000-07:00

HONOLULU, Hawaii – SilverTech and the Hawaii-based national law firm Galiher DeRobertis Ono have announced the launch of a new mesothelioma portal, Mesothelioma.co, where information about the deadly cancer can be found.

Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer correlated with the exposure of asbestos. When airborne, asbestos fibers become lodged in the victim’s lungs when breathed in, leading the cancer to spread into the heart and chest cavities.

It can take decades for the cancer to manifest symptoms, and unfortunately, many patients don’t get the treatment they need in time. Furthermore, sometimes patients do get tested but the symptoms mimic those of other diseases and they still do not get the proper treatment.

The new information portal will provide help for mesothelioma research, treatment and legal rights. It is specifically designed for mesothelioma victims to utilize as well as those who believe they me be at risk.

The site contains over 400 pages of search engine optimized (SEO) content and offers localized information for mesothelioma victims across all 50 states.

“This is a client that prides themselves in their openness, honesty and ability to share their expertise with those affected by mesothelioma,” said Jeff McPherson, SilverTech Director of Client Development. “They’ve gone against the grain of their industry and chosen to clearly brand this valuable content rather than posing as a medical resource.”

The research provided on the site is backed by the mesothelioma attorneys at Galiher DeRobertis Ono’s experience in handling mesothelioma cases over a span of 30 years.

Both the new Mesothelioma.co and Galiher DeRobertis Ono’s websites are created by SilverTech. The content for both is customized, allowing for faster and easier updates on each page.

SilverTech, Inc. is a national digital marketing agency based in New England that helps customers with their internet marketing solutions. They offer a variety of services including online strategy, web design and development, multimedia graphics, SEO and more.

Mesothelioma is one of the toughest cancers to beat. It is imperative that victims seek help immediately in order to procure medical treatment. If you or a loved one are suffering with mesothelioma or believe you have been exposed to asbestos, contact a mesothelioma lawyernear you for help.

A mesothelioma attorney can get you the medical attention and money damages you deserve after having been exposed to asbestos. They will investigate your history in order to determine who is responsible for your disease, and once discovered, your paralegal will make sure that they are held accountable for your pain and suffering.

Call today to schedule an initial consultation with a leading mesothelioma lawyer near you.
