Summary: A Clear and Simple Approach
Comment: I am using this book for college students as a reference textbook. Book has got enough information for a one semester introductory sql course. It has got simple approach with clear explanations.This makes book also be used for a self study sql course. If the target audience of the book is taken into account, the only miss is the amount of the exercises contained in the book.

Summary: Excellent Novice SQL Learner's Book
Comment: This book is absolutely awesome. It is by far the easiest and most understandable reading of any SQL book out there. The lessons are very concise and to the point, but at the same time very effectively organized, so as to get the idea accross to the reader without any extraneous or confusing jargon.
I highly recommend this book to any one who wants to learn SQL, but doesn't know which book they should start with.

Summary: SQL Basics
Comment: I chose this book for one reason - it's written by Ben Forta. I'm new to ColdFusion and SQL is used quite a bit with CF. Since Ben Forta is the guru for CF, I wanted to read what he had to say about what a non-programmer, non-DBA needs to know about SQL. I found the book very helpful. I was already fixing things by page 16. If you need to know the basics of SQL - and not all the DBA stuff, this is the book for you.

Summary: Well,..not 10 minutes but..
Comment: You can't even read the book in 10 minutes BUT it is great for beginners who want to increase their skill in SQL.
It is easy to follow and I like how the author distinguishes between syntax for SQL, Access and Oracle. It ramps up from easy to more complex statements well.
Definitely a good buy for people who want to brush up on skills or learn more than simple statements.

Summary: Excellent beginner's guide!
Comment: Before reading this book, I didn't know the first thing about SQL. Within a few hours, I was writing queries and manipulating data. Very well written with a logical layout and clear examples. Highly recommended.
