Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐If you really are a professional programmer then you’re going to suffer reading this book. I like the “dummies” titles because I can get a fast grasp of the basics of a new topic, however this one is really tough to get through. It’s like it was written for a non-programmer (as basic programming concepts are explained – I don’t care – I want to know about SQL!) but what non-programmer would be interested in this topic??Still, it does provide a high level introduction to SQL, which is why I got it.This book never shows you how to start a mysql server. It assumes from the start that there is already a server running (but it never mentions that). You won’t be able to actually run the commands outlined in the book unless you have root authority to install and start one.

⭐Good book, but very outdated. Try “SQL in 10 minutes” from Sams Teach Yourself or a free class from Udacity (https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-relational-databases–ud197).

⭐I like the book because it outlines how to do the simple SQL language, but also there is a little history of how it got started. I keep the book for reference to help me look and develop queries once and ahile.

⭐I bought this book because I bought another book that said buy this before reading sqlplus. Its not necessary. This book was useless and a repeat of general information.

⭐Good intro book.

⭐By no stretch of the imagination am I an obtuse person. I completed my MBA at Harvard in 2008 and have just been accepted to University of Oxford. I wanted to learn SQL as a time filler and thought, based upon other …for Dummies’ texts I have read before that this would be the best and fastest ramping method. Oh how I was wrong.This is a very difficult book to read and written by someone who wants the reader to raise to his level rather than come down to theirs. The structure is frankly a complete mess with very few definitions of everything (I was constantly going to google for definitions) and when he did provide definitions they were other very abstract or very vague so once again trips to google.His explanation of Database Normalization from 1NF-3NF was just an incomprehensibly contradicting mess. I garnered better explanations from the web forums.I showed some of the text to a friend of mine in NY who is a professor of IT and he said it was one of the most garbled explanations of the subject matter he had come across.SQL and relational databases is really not that hard a subject matter with the correct material to learn from but avoid this mess of a book if you really want to learn it.

⭐The book presents a fun layout, catchy illustrations, balloons, and all, however, it`s written in a boring way. I was looking for a fast track learning in SQL and unfortunately got stuck in this traffic jam…

⭐all was great, product worked as expected and required. Price was good, planning on refilling when run out of pro

⭐It’s comprehensive but some of his explanations are unclear and there are endless baseball examples. At least pick a world sport like football.

⭐Great price, quick delivery, arrived safely. Thanks.

⭐Great

⭐Good
