The book is becoming a bit long in tooth since it has not been updted since 2004. DBMSs covered are IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, ... Read More
Rating: - PERFECT! AWESOME! Need I say more?
When I went for a job interview a few months ago all I knew about SQL was that it had something to do with databases.

Rating:  - I knew nothing about SQL
Good intro and you do learn the language and how to understand and write it by using this book

This language is so easy to learn, it feels more like an application than a programming language. It seems as though the whole language is really just 3 words, select, from & where, although I'm ... Read More
Rating: - Very Beginner
This is a true beginner's book. This is a book for people who know nothing about SQL. It is very helpful for starters.
