2.0 out of 5 stars No Ansi SQL
I don't like this book. This book doesn't use Ansi-92 SQL, instead it uses the SQL language implemented in SQLBase. The second half of the book show how to implement an application in SQL Windows!

Other choices are books that merely provide a dictionary of commands, or that get into complicated solutions using particular programs.
