Anyone know of any "advanced level" books on MySQL that you would
recommend? Something that covers performance enhancements,
partitioning, etc?

Online is great but sometimes I like to read computer books while on
my lunch break at the park. (yes, mega nerd here)

Thanks

I've begun being interested in databases in december, and I read
these:

SQL Tuning
By Dan Tow
O'Reilly

The Art of SQL
By Stéphane Faroult and Peter Robson
O'Reilly

I read others but these two cover a lot of advanced techniques. Though
they are not focused on MySQL, they give good advices anyways.
For MySQL only :

"Pro MySQL", Kruckenberg and Pipes... via APress (apress.com)

should be just what you're looking for. right down to the nitty gritty of
SQL, memory space, disk space, seek time, etc... even MySQL source code,
theory and system architecture.
