Product Description

Review

"I want to say clearly that I think the subject of this proposed book is one for which there will be considerable demand...the topic is poorly understood in general and a good book on the subject will be helpful to the SQL community at large. This book should be of great interest to real-world application programmers...I think that this book would be used on a day-to-day basis (rather than languish on a shelf until some special problem arose)." -Jim Melton, author of SQL:1999.

Product Description

Joe Celko's Trees and Hierarchies in SQL is an intermediate to advanced-level practitioner's guide to mastering the two most challenging aspects of developing database applications in SQL. In this book, Celko illustrates several major approaches to representing trees and hierarchies and related topics that should be of interest to the working database programmer. These topics include hierarchical encoding schemes, graphs, IMS, binary trees, and more. This book covers SQL-92 and SQL:1999.


· Includes graph theory and programming techniques.
· Running examples throughout the book help illustrate and tie concepts together.
· Loads of code, available for download from www.mkp.com.

Format:Paperback
Being a computer science student I found it hard to understand the amount of theory behind Database Structures. This book provides very good guidance for solving non-trivial problems in storing complex data structures in a flat relational database. I found it very helpful and full of great ideas, which I have used in my web applications.

I had a project that used a tree structure to represent data and found this book invaluble in learning how to use nested sets.
I had previously used recursion to generate the trees but nested sets and SQL is so efficient a tree with many elements generates in next to no time.
Definitely worth the money

poor book 19 May 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A poor book with many SQL errors. A confusing and arrogrant writing style. There is very little detail when you need it, Focuses too much on his nested sets representation. I doubt very many would use it given its complexity. I got absolutley nothing out of this book.

You are much better researching trees in SQL on the web.
