Product Review
This book is not just another SQL text. The authors use of simple yet clear examples to illustrate difficult concepts throughout the text makes this a perfect book for use in an introductory database systems class as a supplement or as an introductory reference for the novice practitioner.
Paul Fortier, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
The book lives up to its title: it is a very practical guide. The authors clearly know their SQL and manage to write about the language in a step-by-step style that progresses smoothly from the simple to the more difficult aspects of the language.
Jim Melton, Oracle Corporation
This books authors recognize the vast majority of work done with a database is data retrieval (rather than storage) and have focused on this area.
Australian Personal Computer, March 2006
Book Description
A solid guide and reference to the key elements of SQL and how to use it effectively.
Reader Reviews
I am using this book in my "Intro. to SQL Database Programming" college course. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend this book - it was obviously rushed to print before the bugs had been worked out; figures are missing important details (e.g., the Schema in Fig 1.4); and the index is laughably deficient. Not enough examples are given. This book should not have been printed in its present form. Numerous typos exist. It needs a lot of work. NOT RECOMMENDED
