Fantastic book for begginers - By: Josep-maria Sans Sanchez, 05 Nov 2008 
I'm not a programmer & I bought this book having no idea of SQL, & I can say I learned a lot from it. It's easy to understand & it's well structured. Maybe it doesn't cover every aspect of SQL, but it's the place to start to write your first queries. Give it a try, you won't regret!
An Excellent Book - By: Andrew Powell, 15 Apr 2008 After wanting to get a better grasp on SQL & its Syntax I bought this book along with it other companion "SQL Cookbook".
It has a nicely written & easy to understand flow with exercises at the end of each chapter. I find this a great help as when you have read the chapter, you can try & solve the exercises & hopefully it will have sunkin more.
The hardest section is on subqueries as it seem that you can put them everywhere(ugggh).
It also explains the nuances with SQL Server & Oracle, as the syntax changes for little things like altering tables & transaction.
Soin all a very good book that will prove a useful reference & tool for improving ones knowledge of SQL.
