5.0 out of 5 starsBest SQL text ever
By janne on September 22, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I was dubious about another thick, high cost textbook. I have enough incomprehensible database and SQL books - this text is different - it's so well written, it's understandable, the examples are useful, and the author points out all the little idiosyncrasies that trip up newbies. Highly recommend this book for anyone starting to learn SQL or who had trouble with SQL with another text. The datafiles on the companion website are easy to work with and it's a very practical, hands on text. Well worth the high cost.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe best SQL book I've read yet!
By Coder on August 3, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I typically do not have much enthusiasm for technical books published by the big "textbook publishers." Too many errors, too much "intro/overview," and bad information/advice. However, this book is a gem!

I will apologize straightaway for not writing a detailed review. I am too busy to do one. However, I think it's better that I review it now, than forget to review it at all.

Already I own several MySQL books (and some PHP/MySQL books), including Wrox and O'Reily books. Lately, however, I've only used them as a basic "reference" when building websites. Back when I tried to go through each book chapter-by-chapter, I was disappointed when I tried anything complicated for a "newbie," such as joins and virtual tables. Nothing ever worked the way the books said they would! But truly, the concepts behind joins were not explained clearly *at all* and so I was not capable of troubleshooting the problems myself.

"Oracle 11g: SQL" shines in this regard! The explanations of what happens "behind-the-scenes" when you create a join or query a virtual table are so exceptionally accurate and well-explained, that not only could I create complex joins, I was even able to find and correct errors in the online tests that were part of our "web-enhanced" college course!

Aside from the lucidity of the text, the chapter was filled with practical "cases" that at least begin to hint at some of the complex ERDs one would have to create in real life. Once in a while, the instructions for the case in one chapter did not exactly match up with what had been done to the case database in another chapter, but such errors were rather obvious and did not cause problems.Read more ›

This book is very easy to understand. It goes step by step on how to create a database. It has print screens about the topic that shows how to do it.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood text for learning concepts
By Tania A. Ruiz on October 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a good quality text with a case study that goes throughout the book to explain techniques and concepts. Sturdy construction. Easy to read with plenty of examples and study questions. Summary at end of each chapter is useful, as are tables of statements with syntax and examples.

5.0 out of 5 starsSatisfied

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this as a textbook for a Database Programming course. All database concepts are explained concisely and effectively, and there are adequate challenges in the back of the chapters to test your knowledge. No complaints.

4.0 out of 5 starsEasy to follow book!
By Shinugaii on October 19, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book is clear and concise and the author explains well each one of the topics although at times I feel there should be at least two examples of something that is explained in a given chapter. Other than this I feel the book is easy to read for anyone whether you are a beginner, like myself, or an intermediate user both can benefit from reading this book. One think though I could never install the software in the companion CD for during the installation I ran into an error and then when trying to use SQL*PLUS I could not log in even though the user name and password were correct.

5.0 out of 5 starsEasy to understand
By Amazon Customer on May 8, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book for a college course I took last semester. I was brand new to SQL and programming in general, and this book made all the concepts very easy to understand for a beginner. I'd highly recommend this book if you want to learn SQL!

2.0 out of 5 starsProbably not the best to learn from
By Tedron B. on November 18, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book itself was okay. Probably not the best to learn from. But the condition of the book was terrible. The damn thing simply fell apart halfway through the semester. It was horrible. This vendor shouldn't rent books that look like they belong in a refuse pile.
