You have the following options:
· Online access to the HTML version of the documentation:
¡ MySQL website: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb
¡ SAP Help Portal: http://help.sap.com ® Documentation ® SAP NetWeaver ® <Release> ® <Language> ® Application Platform ® Databases ® MySQL MaxDB
¡ Additional documentation for SAP customers on SAP Service Market Place: http://service.sap.com
· Download the whole documentation as HTMLHelp (one .chm file) for Microsoft Windows
If you are using the Microsoft Windows operating system, we recommend that you download the HTMLHelp version.
· Download the whole documentation as HTML (several plain HTML files)
The documentation is divided into several books that you access using a navigation tree. A book generally has several units and sections. To display a book, a unit or a section, choose the corresponding icon (“Nodes”) in the navigation tree.
Example: Displaying a unit in the HTML version
There are no “empty” nodes: books, units and sections always have contents.

¡ Highlight the search terms in the section that is found
¡ Locate a found section in the navigation tree using the Locate function
¡ Limit the search iteratively using the Search Previous Results function
· Save favorites
· Print individual units including all associated units and sections
