This book is an excellent introduction to sql. It is a perfect book for a novice learner and also for a programmer that wants to pick up sql skills.
I recommend this book to anybody that needs exercises to motivate them to learn sql.
It is an excellent book.

Good Book
27 Mar 2000
A fantastic book for learning SQL. I did not have Oracle and was learning on Microsoft Access instead, but I found the book very helpful nonetheless. The author does a good job of explaining SQL and databases. This book is also a very handy reference when programming. I still find myself using it as a guide when writing SQL statements in my programs. Overall a good book. I recommend it for SQL beginners and highly recommend it for users of Oracle.

From a Beginner's point of view.
14 Sep 2000
I've had some programming experience, but can't say I'm an excellent programmer. This book really clued me in how just how versatile SQL can be. It slowly builds your knowledge and feeds it just enough to keep you interested for more. I've since purchased other books by Loney published by Oracle Press and have found them to be dry reads in comparison. After reading this book, I feel confident enough to take on PL/SQL. My limited programming skill is not a hindrance to learning SQL. Now.
An excellent beginner's book.

Disappointed almost every time I open it
20 July 2001
Sorry Authors but I can never seem to find what I am after here. e.g. Looking for info on "aggregate" terms - no reference to it. e.g. Looking for information on oracle date handling - not enough info to be useful.
I need something more heavy duty really. Might be okay for someone starting out - but I doubt it.
