Summary: Solid SQL introduction
Comment: This book provides a quick, no frills tour through SQL. But it's done very well, covering key SQL statements, clauses, operators and functions. It's a basic starter book with clear, concise information on some of the most useful SQL commands.I found it helpful to download the tables from the author's Web site and work with all the examples (scripts and examples run using SQL Server 7 Desktop). Completed the book in a few days, and now feel more confident to learn more complex SQL features if required. However, in the next issue, please tell the reader just ONCE that they need to "refer to the DBMS documentation for complete information"!

Summary: Excellent quick reference
Comment: I use this book to do a quick lookup of commonly used SQL commands and their syntax. This is not a book intended to teach you everything about SQL, but if you need a quick reference on a 'join' command, for example, this is the book to use.

Summary: This book saved my life!
Comment: ....This is truly one of the best (if not the best) technology books ihave ever owned. As part of a development team that started workingwith oracle/sql about 1 year ago, I have seen a ton of books(literally - most large enough to make you weep) on sql make their wayinto the office. this one is hands-down my favorite. It certainlydoesn't have the depth that you may need after you become an sql"expert", but for 99% of your chores as an applicationdeveloper, this will be the book YOU WANT on your desk. Nice job BenForta - please write more books!
