Free A Guide to SQL
This is a complete and clear introductory text book. It covers the basics throughly. The material is presented logically and is easy to follow and understand. My one complaint is the use of gray boxes for impotent notes and additional information. The gray background screening is so dark that I could only read it in a brightly lit room. It appears the text was originally designed to be printed in color but went to production in B&W without any formatting adjustments. As with all college texts, it is seriously over priced, but what can you do?
By James True
My comments are about the 6th and 7th editions of the book. It was the required text for a college course about Structured Query Language. The school offered other courses about database theory and design. The book only covers SQL. It is not about database theory or database design. The book assumes the reader either understands database theory or is taking a database concepts course and is required to also learn SQL.
In the first chapter it presents 2 (6th) or 3 (7th) databases that are used throughout the book to teach SQL. The chapters are relatively short but are packed with material and have summaries, lists of key terms, review questions and plenty of exercises (for each database). We were required to work through all the end-of-chapter sections.
I believe you can best learn sql by using it and the chapter exercises allow you to do that. The database we used was MS Access and the sample databases were already set up for us. The book comments on differences in SQL syntax between various popular databases.
I was surprised to read some of the negative comments made by other posters although some of them were about earlier editions. Don't buy this book expecting to learn database theory or design; it has a narrow focus, as the title suggests: SQL.
I still refer back to this book, among others, when I have a question about SQL syntax.
