The Language of SQL, Second Edition Many SQL texts attempt to serve
as an encyclopedic reference on SQL syntax -- an approach that is
often counterproductive, because that information is readily
available in online references published by the major database
vendors. For SQL beginners, it's more important for a book to focus
on general concepts and to offer clear explanations and examples of
what various SQL statements can accomplish. This is that 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. Second, topics are organized in an
intuitive and logical sequence. SQL keywords are introduced one at
a time, allowing you to grow your understanding as you encounter
new terms and concepts. Finally, this book covers the syntax of
three widely used databases: Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and
Oracle. Special "Database Differences" sidebars clearly show you
any differences in syntax among these three databases, and
instructions are included on how to obtain and install free
versions of the databases. This is the only book you need to gain a
quick working knowledge of SQL and relational databases. Learn How
