Pros & Cons
Pros
This quickstart guide provides a clear overview of relational databases. It gives a nice and easy to understand overview of mssql, coding and queries. Downloading the practice db is easy.
Open the book in your laptop/ desktop kindle reader on the left side of your monitor. I recommend this book to anyone interested in getting their toes wet in the world of sql and rdbms. This review is for the ebook version.
The author takes you from ground zero (about where i was) to some really ingenious programming heights. This book puts it in layman’s terms. The author does a fantastic job laying a solid foundation for any beginner.
It starts with basic concepts and adds skills layer by layer. The second appendix summarizes the keywords introduced in chapters 4 through 10.
Highlights
Quality
Very good starter for those that want to get some of the basic concepts down and jump right into practicing
Provides a good path software and techniques to querying databases
One of the biggest hurdles to learning programming languages is getting over the technical jargon
If you have been exposed to sql but have never been trained on how to write queries i strongly suggest you purchase this book
Price
But i bought 2 duh one was hard bound and us10
I learned a great deal from the book and practice dataset
Competitiveness
Shields and clydebank media for putting together such a wonderful introductory guide to learning sql
I ended up installing sqlite and im now using that instead of oracle
You can download a sample database for a music store and browser called dbbrowser from the clydebank publisher

About 34 through the spiralbound version of this book

I think if you’re getting this get the spiral version so it lays flat on your desk
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There are a few things that needed to be changed slightly to work in sqlsms such as limit vs top
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I think it would be nice if the book had called out the subtle differences in the hints section but maybe there are too many different sql systems to list any differences
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You will need to actually sit and type out these queries
