Book Overview

SQL Clearly Explained, Third Edition, provides an in-depth introduction to using SQL (Structured Query Language). Readers will learn not only SQL syntax, but also how SQL works. Although the core of the SQL language remains relatively unchanged, the most recent release of the SQL standard (SQL:2008) includes two sets of extensions: 1) support for object-relational databases and 2) support for XML. As a result, the set of standard SQL commands has been greatly extended and this new edition takes that into account. This new edition includes updated tips and tricks to reflect the current concepts of SQL and XML standards; several new chapters covering object-relational and XML extensions; and an ancillary package that includes case studies, a syllabus, exams and more. This book is intended for working SQL programmers, database administrators, database designers, database analysts, and application system developers as well as those who are developing new features for database management systems who want to know about user needs. This would include anyone working with electronic content in the relational database context but also XML. Web services, etc. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Good start for those new to SQL

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 19, 2000

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.

Excellent Intermediate SQL Book

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 24, 1999

This is an excellent book on SQL. It begins with the basic syntax of SQL statements such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE and then covers more intermediate concepts such as joining, string manipulation, and date/time arithmetic. The most rewarding section was the two chapters on embedded and dynamic SQL. It's hard enough to find a good SQL book that covers embedded SQL at all, and this one explains it so well...from...

The right book to get started in SQL programming

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 20, 1999

This is the right book for the total SQL newbie. After the intro chapter, the author wastes no time in diving into the difficult topic of data retrieval and spends three well-written chapters on this topic, explaining the operations in a clear and easily understood manner. One big example is used throughout the book, that of an "online" bookstore database. For a SQL (pronounced 'sequel') newbie like me, this book was...

Excellent book !!!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 19, 1999

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.

SQL Clearly Explained earns its title.

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 25, 1999

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...
