SELECT to Ship: MariaDB for Application Developers

By Alejandro Duarte

Learn MariaDB the way application developers actually use it.

Most database books are written from the perspective of a database administrator. SELECT to Ship: MariaDB for Application Developers takes a different approach. It teaches MariaDB as part of the software development process-from writing your first SELECT statement to deploying a production-ready application. Whether you're new to relational databases, migrating from MySQL or PostgreSQL, or already using MariaDB and want to deepen your SQL skills, this book provides a practical, hands-on path to becoming productive. Rather than isolated examples, you'll build your knowledge step by step using realistic scenarios that reflect the kinds of problems software engineers solve every day. Inside you'll learn how to:
Set up MariaDB for local development.Master the MariaDB command-line tools.Design relational schemas that evolve over time.Write clean, efficient SQL using joins, subqueries, CTEs, and window functions.Work with transactions and concurrency safely.Improve query performance with indexes.Configure and secure MariaDB for production.Back up, replicate, and deploy MariaDB with confidence.
Written specifically for software engineers, SELECT to Ship explains not only how MariaDB works, but also why particular techniques and design decisions matter when building real applications. By the time you finish this book, you'll be able to design databases, write effective SQL, optimize performance, and confidently ship applications powered by MariaDB.
