Uncovers the mystery of SQL's behavior
I like this book. I was looking for a book that gave the "why" behind SQL. I graduated years ago with a Computer Science degree and didn't have the opportunity to take a database class. I found myself having to learn SQL on the job. This book uncovers the mystery of SQL's behavior. It has a lot of examples that are supported by the software described in the appendix. It also describes how to use the query languages of Microsoft Access.Don't let the term "theory" scare you. After the first couple of pages of required definitions, the tone of the book quickly changed to a very readable presentation. Overall, I like the writing style - it's precise and to the point - not too wordy. Definitely worth the money!
