Who this book is for

This book is especially for:

Non-IT people who just want to extract sensible data from a MySQL database (both novice and expert), and people who need to have at least some basic knowledge of databases in a client/server architecture will find this book useful.

Beginners can learn from scratch the fundamentals of database design and administration (and even some development), especially, thanks to the tutorials featured in this book.

Experts can unlock certain mysteries of Navicat, which consist of useful, but seemingly hidden or unobvious features.
