Hello. The best I've ever seen:
PHP AND MySQL WEB DEVELOPMENT by Welling Tomson.
Developer's Library.
I hope this can be of help.

I second that. The DeBois book is my basic desk reference.
I also read
SQL, the Complete Reference, by Groff, before I dived into
MySQL. There are
probably other good SQL books out there.

While I cannot speak from experience with the Third Edition,
I found the First Edition to be that rare combination of a
very good beginner's book and an outstanding reference. It
covers the basics of database creation, modification, and
querying, as well as administrative topics such as creating
and granting rights to users and backing up your database.
It also contains an excellent alphabetical command
reference. Paul Dubois writes in a very clear style, and
the information is very well organized.
I would also echo an earlier post that you should also
familiarize yourself with online resources, particularly in
terms of installation. No book is going to provide you with
the level of currency, detail and specificity that you will
find online. Also, the online documentation at mysql.com is
very good, and has been abundantly annotated with comments
(from which I have gleaned useful information on several
occasions).
And I'd have to echo another earlier post that you should
seriously consider educating yourself at a broader level.
Resources at the MySQL level will tell you how to do things,
but not so much how to do them well. I would have to defer
to others to make recommendations in this area.
