Product Description
Product Description
This guide to the Structured Query Language (SQL) describes the SQL database language specified by the ANSI/ISO SQL standard and used by many of today's leading database management systems, including DB2, OS/2 E.E., Oracle, Ingres, Sybase, SQL server, SQLBase and dBASE IV. Written for users who are new to databases, as well as for experienced programmers, this text is a straight forward account of what SQL is, why it is important and how to use it. For beginners, there's a step-by-step account of how to use the language. The authors then launch into issues on database structure, the most efficient way to update data, SQL security, programming with SQL and SQL's future directions.

I must say that this book is the best for a person who has no experience with SQL. It provides you with all the knowledge needed in working in a database programming environment and gets you on your way real quick.

This book is the best! It doesn't tie itself to any single SQL-based product. Instead, it guides you through the actual SQL standard with a few notes on deviations by specific products.
With this book, I set up a freeware/generic SQL server and had a working database within an hour. Aside from this book, I have no database experience...just programming and systems experience. I found it a great resource for setting up tables and queries, including under specific products such as "Access97" and other (server-based) products.

I wish I had known about this book three years ago when I became a PowerBuilder/Sybase programmer. This is a very clear and easy to ready book on a not too easy to understand subject. The authors have done a superb job in explaining what the SQL language is and how it works. I highly recommend this book to anybody dealing with RDBMS systems. It's a book that should be on anybody's reference library. The chapters on queries and referential integrity are very well written. Also the chapter on building dynamic SQL is a "must read" for anybody doing this type of SQL access.
