Preface:

In the process of learning MySQL, you may want to have a Chinese website to refer to, or you may have looked for such a site in a search engine. If you have this kind of demand, then the following website you must collect.

1. Treasure Document website

As mentioned in the previous article, official MySQL documents are all in English. Although we can translate them into Chinese through the translation plug-in, the translation effect is always not ideal. Some students may think, if there is a Chinese version of the good, search the MySQL Chinese document in the search engine, you can also find part of the content, but either the version is very old or incomplete, can not refer to use.

I once accidentally found a Chinese document website, used for a period of time, feel the quality is ok. Nonsense not to say, immediately recommended to everyone. Web site address: www.docs4dev.com/docs/zh/mys…

Let’s take a look at the document home page, compared to the official document home page, the layout is still very similar.

This Chinese document is based on the official translation of MySQL 5.7. The structure is exactly the same as the original directory, the translation quality is ok, and the user experience is basically the same as the official document. According to the author’s experience, the following advantages of the website are summarized:

  • MySQL 5.7 中文 版
  • There is no SQL code translated into Chinese and table translated into “table” situation.
  • Support site search.
  • The hyperlink jump is correct and is an intra-site jump.
  • Official website suffixes and consistent, for example: www.docs4dev.com/docs/zh/mys… With dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/… The page content is consistent.
  • The site is under continuous maintenance.

2. About Docs4dev

In fact, MySQL Chinese documentation is only a small part of the Docs4dev website. Docs4dev, as its name implies, is a document website designed for developers. In addition to MySQL documents, this website also contains Java, Spring, Linux, Big Data, Python and other Chinese documents. The following two pictures are the home page of the website and the GitHub home page of the team.

The original intention of creating Docs4dev is that the author often needs to check the documents of various frameworks in the process of writing the code, but most of the documents are only in English version, and many documents do not support the site search, so it is very inconvenient to check the information. It can be seen that the documents in Docs4dev website are still very rich, and the team is still maintaining, if there is any mistake can be submitted to the author, it is really a treasure site for developers.

Conclusion:

Docs4dev is a rare document website, if you often want to refer to the official documents in the learning process, you can open Docs4dev to find, maybe there is a document you want. For the MySQL Chinese document, I often open reference, of course, you can also choose to read the original English document or the comparison of the two, in any case is also a choice. Multiple reference documents are necessary for systematic learning.
