Rated 5 starsGood start for those new to SQL
I am more of a user than an IT person, and I found this book very useful and easy to follow. The author has filled this book with examples of queries, and taken the time to discuss some of the more technical aspects of SQL such as data modification, database structure and indexes. So from basic data extraction tecnhiques to an overview of the inner-workings of SQL, this book is a success.

Rated 5 starsExcellent book !!!
I like this book - this is the first book on SQL that clearly explains not only the concepts of SQL and relational databases, but also gives a lot of examples. Perfect book not only for the beginners but also as a reference for advanced programmers. If you need to get understanding of SQL in one day, become SQL guru in a week, and get a good table reference - this book is for you.

This is one of the best SQL books I've read (and I've read many) because it explains the set theory concepts that underlie database design. After reading this book I have a much better appreciation for the SQL mechanism and I am much more creative with how I use it. This book is interesting to read, well presented and extremely useful. I recommend it for any SQL beginner, and for intermediate-level SQL users who would...
