Teach Yourself SQL in 21 Days

Rating:
Summary: A very solid grouding in SQL
Review: For the price you gain a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time. 21 days or less it's easy to read thru a chapter or 3 and only spend an hour doing it. I wouldn't turn anyone away from this book, but a Novice or low level user should be aware that they may need to re-read a chapter more then once.

it's a good book. covers a lot of information in a basic fashion with simple examples.

Great if you understand some programming or basic Database concepts and you just want to get up to speed on some more advanced topics. Could also be good for novice users looking to start learning about SQL, I just think some of the examples and explanations might be a little hard for someone who's never used databases before. But, if they read each chapter twice if they feel like they are missing something, I think they will be fine and be happy with this book.

Review: It's an excellent book but most readers may need some sql knowledge before reading this book. This book is a very good source and reference for creating queries within application like MsAccess. It's also an OK source for creating queries in SQL Server or Oracle, but not for stored procedure. Their no reference or text on stored procedures within this book.

If the book came with a CD I would of rated this book more than 4 stars.

Review: SQL is a powerful Language to know and also to understand how to managing database, i bought a book called teach yourself SQL in 21 days, it is a great book to learn and how to use it. But, the only thing is, it needed a CD that come with the book, this way we can just use it like other books that with SQL scripts and sample tables or a pre-compiler so and so..or by creating many different table's from day 1,and using the same tables sample from day 1 and work all the way within the whole book.just like the same one (teach yourself in 24 hours).
