1.0 out of 5 stars A Real Stinker, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: SQL Unleashed (Paperback)

I spent 2 weeks trying to figure out if I was a moron or dyslexic, but I was wrong... it was just that nobody proofed this book.

I finally figured out that: 1) The book didn't match the disk. 2) The book didn't match SQL. 3) The book didn't match itself from one chapter to the next. 4) The book didn't match anything the help line (and I usually the term VERY loosely) knew. Their response was "Well, it's hard to catch all the errors."

I finally returned it for credit. This is the ONLY book I have EVER returned for errors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overall SQL book, January 18, 2000

By A Customer

SQL Unleashed was exactly what I needed--a book to round out my knowledge of SQL.

I have a pretty good practical working knowledge of SQL, but lots of holes. This book filled in the gaps and gave me lots of practical help instead of pure theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally an Intermediate & Advanced SQL Book!, January 4, 2000

By	Christine Ader (Phoenix) - See all my reviews

This Intermediate - Advanced SQL book is one of the best I've seen. It covers ALL of the Advanced topics of SQL with different SQL implementations and also includes the SQL standards. This book also has a very nice Introduction to SQL section that will be useful to beginners.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time and money
This book was more of a knowlage book on how SQl integrates with nt. It lacks examples and true to life situations. Other than another paper weight for my desk it's useless.

I have been using SQL Unleashed for over a year, and it is the book I consult first when I have a SQL question. It has hundreds of examples, all of them extremely well explained.
