The name says it all. A great intro to SQL.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essence of SQL : A Guide to Learning Most of SQL in the Least Amount of Time (Paperback)
This is a great alternative to the SQL "Bibles" out there. The book takes a very practical, top-down look on how SQL works, by taking a core set of common types questions asked of relational databases, and shows you how to do it. The most likely use of this book is to read it the whole way through, in sort of a text-book fashion.

Excellent SQL Intro for Developers,

This review is from: The Essence of SQL : A Guide to Learning Most of SQL in the Least Amount of Time (Paperback)
To fully understand this book you need a fairly good grounding in set theory and programming. If you have this background and are looking for a quick into to SQL, this book is excellent. It is a very short book and a very quick read. It is not a SQL reference book. In a few hours it will give you a very good understanding of SQL. Ideal for programmers who need to quickly learn SQL. Not so good for those with a fair amount of SQL experience or those looking for in-depth information. I had to buy a second copy of this book becuase people borrow it so often that I can never find it.

Manages to disambiguate much of SQL,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essence of SQL : A Guide to Learning Most of SQL in the Least Amount of Time (Paperback)
A very elegantly written (how often do you get to use the term "disambiguate) book that manages to deliver on the promise in the title. Recommend only for those who have more than a passing familiarity with SQL.
