5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite of 9 Books I Purchased to Learn SQL
Reviewed in the United States on 8 September 2007
Verified Purchase
I am a beginning student of databases, and bought several highly-rated SQL books on Amazon (SQL Server Unleashed, MS SQL Server Database Essentials, Welling's MYSQL Tutorial, SQL Queries for Mere Mortals, Learning SQL, the SAMS 21 Day book, etc.) This one has been the most helpful for purposes of learning query language. The "databases" topic is really several different topics: database design, database administration, how to make your particular software work, querying, and more. Many books try to cover it all and get very thick and confusing in the process. This is a great book for learning and more importantly PRACTICING query language. SQL is best learned by DOING, so the practice exercises at the end of each chapter, which start easy and build to the more difficult, are just great. Early in the book you create 5 simple tables that the author uses for the examples and exercises throughout the book (there are also two additional simple databases that have chapter-end exercises throughout the book). You're not constantly familiarizing yourself with new data, which frees you to focus on learning new skills. I recommend using this book in conjunction with a database design textbook (the author has written one that I haven't seen but is probably good; I happened to purchase the Rob/Coronel book which is good) and an installation/configuration/administration type book that will help you navigate your software (for example, MS SQL Server Database Essentials -- choose a book that matches the software you will be working with).

This is a skill-building book rather than a reference book -- if you really work through it, you won't need it as a reference ever again because it is possible to absorb and retain everything it offers. Query language is deceptively simple, so even though this is a beginner book, it will take you to an intermediate skill level.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to SQL
Reviewed in the United States on 12 November 2008

I bought this as the textbook for a 1 credit class on SQL at the local community college. I knew a little about SQL, but this book is a decent reference source without a lot of filler. It is certainly not a COMPLETE reference - anyone looking for a no-holds-barred SQL reference should not buy this book. I think it is a great intro for a beginner, though.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't recommend. Very confusing.
Reviewed in the United States on 10 November 2010

I won't write a detailed review here because there are many others that already point on the shortcomings of this book. This was a required text for a second level database class and right from the start it seemed like a real step back in comparison to the book used I used in my first class, however I wouldn't even say this is a beginners book because it never even tells you much about databases. The book starts off with tossing the SQL at you and this is the part that I like the least because the book is meant to be a multi-flavor approach for and DBMS specific language. Anyone would be better off picking up a book that focuses on the DBMS specific language they are interested in rather than using this book. If a person is new, how confusing is it to say here is the query you need for Access, use this format for MySQL, but neither of those will work in Oracle, you have to use this format? This books approach is a lot like learning Spanish, German, and Chinese at the same time.
