Critical Acclaim for

SQL: Practical Guide for Developers

The book lives up to its title: it is a very practical guide. The authors clearly know their SQL

and manage to write about the language in a step-by-step style that progresses smoothly

from the simple to the more difﬁcult aspects of the language. The profuse use of examples,

each with an accompanying motivation and explanation of the results, lets the reader follow

even complex topics without a constant struggle. The authors have even included examples

that illustrate common errors programmers make, explaining the right way to perform the

task. It doesn’t hurt that the sample application is based on something everybody uses every

day: food.

I especially enjoyed the manner in which the authors explained the rationale behind most

of the SQL facilities. Even though they have not been an active part of the standard’s devel-

opment efforts, their insight into the underlying reasons for a feature’s inclusion is spot

on. They also do an excellent job of explaining complex sets of rules in easily understood

language—I learned new ways of understanding some of the very rules that I personally

wrote into the standard!

Each chapter ends with a summary of the principle points, and most of them include prac-

tical advice for programmers who intend to use the SQL language features described in the

chapter. The inclusion at every chapter’s end of a set of questions and exercises—all directly

relevant to the chapter’s material—makes this book an excellent candidate for use in the

classroom.

This book provides a succinct yet complete introduction to the fundamental aspects of the

SQL language. It is not just another SQL text. The authors’ use of simple yet clear examples

to illustrate difﬁcult concepts throughout the text makes this a perfect book for use in an

introductory database systems class as a supplement or as an introductory reference for

the novice practitioner.
