Product Description
The SQL language has established itself as the linqua franca database management; it provides the basis for systems interoperability, application portability, client/server operation, distributed database, and more, and is supported by just about every DBMS on the market today. SQL2 - or, to give it its official name, the International Standard Database language SQL (1992) - represents a major set of extensions to the earlier SQL standard. For a start, the new specification is well over 600 pages, compared with less than 100 for the original version. No database professional can afford to ignore it. Features *Thorough revision of the official ANSI standard for SQL. *Covers all important new SQL2 features including extensive integrity support, powerful new operators, national and international character data support and comprehensive date and time support. *Continues the tradition of careful, clear, and accurate explanations of complex technical material Features New to this Edition *Covers extensive integrity support, powerful new operators, national and international character data support, all features of SQL2; comprehensive date and time support and clear explanation of the complexitites of Dynamic SQL, all features of SQL2. *Provides first tutorial treatment available anywhere of the brand new and dramatically extended version of SQL known informally as SQL2 or SQL/92. 0201964260B04062001

THE ANSWER BOOK,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Guide to the SQL Standard (Paperback)
Varied DBMS products do tend to limit portability applications if not answered well. ISO/ANSI SQL compliance at current standard is key. Best Bet!

This is not a "How to...." book,
By Joseph E. Swanson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to the SQL Standard (Paperback)
For beginners, this book can be a complete nightmare. It reminded me of the dreary, theory laden texts of my college days more than anything. If you want to know not just how but why SQL works like it does, then this is the book for you, and you will be very happy with it. If you're looking for a reference book to support your existing SQL knowledge, then this book can serve that purpose also. However, if you're looking for something to learn SQL from at the beginner's level, this book is not for you. It is not specific to any database, lacks examples or tutorials, and speaks at the level of someone who has SQL experience.

A must for any database developer,
By Branimir Dolicki (bdolicki@tel.hr) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to the SQL Standard (Paperback)
With so many different DBMS products on the market it is very important to be able to write database applications easily portable from one to another. The key to this portability is writing in compliance to the ISO/ANSI SQL standard. This book has been able to answer almost every my question! I can hardly say that for any other computer book.

Rather narrow in scope, and for experts only,
By "arftu" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to the SQL Standard (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book that will take you through the SQL standard, explaining what each part means and how to use each feature, then you need to look elsewhere. If you are an expert SQL user, and interested in some of the intimate detail of the standard, for example the way time and dates work, and why they work the way they do, this may well be the book for you, but it?s still expensive for the number of pages. If you known the basics well already, and want to become a power SQL user, then I?d recommend Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties
