SQL/400 by Example

Rating:
Summary: Not a very thourough refernce book
Review: I was looking to buy one good, comprehensive reference book re: SQL/400. This is not it. Too basic, with limited examples. Most functions are covered with one paragraph descriptions, with the whole book coming in a skinny, soft-covered, and under a half inch thick.

Rating:
Summary: Too basic. Not even a good summary of AS/400 manual.
Review: This book is better easy reading with very little insight to the more intricate functions of SQL for the 400. Might be useful if you have never programmed SQL.

Rating:
Summary: Too Basic - Doesn't serve the purpose
Review: This book is too basic and does't serve the purpose even for novice programmers.

Rating:
Summary: An excellent, to the point , concise book A DEFINITE MUST
Review: This is an excellent book , compact yet brillant with very cleverly illustrated examples

Rating:
Summary: A good reference guide for SQL commands
Review: This is the only book that I have found which provides reasonably comprehensive coverage of the SQL capabilities which have been introduced on the AS/400 since V4. It provides a good reference for the AS/400 syntax of functions such as CASE, CAST, and various date functions that aren't covered will on other books that I have seen. This book is better as a reference tool than as an introductory tutorial.
