Can anyone recommend a good book for MySQL?

I'm not looking for a command reference. Something a little more along the lines of a learn by example and explanation type book.

Yeah i use that often but I need something that isn't so undecipherable (is that a word?).

The examples they have leave me confused.

What language are you planning on using to access MySQL? For example if you were using PHP, there are books that deal specifically with PHP and how to access MySQL with it. With any language that has database support, you'd just connect to it (ODBC I think?) and pass around SQL statements.

Or are you looking for books that deal with using MySQL in non-programmatic ways like configuring, installing, admining?
