THE LANGUAGE OF SQL (1ST EDITION BOOK)

Tech books for students,schools and geeks

Only $16.99


Description: Most SQL texts attempt to serve as an encyclopedic reference on SQL syntax -- an approach that is counterproductive; since this information is readily available in online references published by the major database vendors. For SQL beginners; its more important for a book to focus on general concepts and offer clear explanations and examples of what the various statements can accomplish. This is that beginner book. A number of features make The LANGUAGE OF SQL unique among introductory SQL books. First; you will not be required to download software or sit with a computer as you read the text. The intent of this book is to provide examples of SQL usage that can be understood simply by reading them. Second; topics are organized in an intuitive and logical sequence. SQL keywords are introduced one at a time; allowing you to build on your prior understanding as you encounter new words and concepts. Finally; this book covers the syntax of three widely used databases: Microsoft SQL Server; MySQL; and Oracle; with special Database Differences boxes that will show you any differences in the syntax among those three databases; as well as instructions on how to obtain and install free versions of the databases. This is the only book you will need to gain a working knowledge of SQL and relational databases.
