With this book to guide you through all the newest features of SQL, you'll soon be whipping up relational databases, using SQL with XML to power data-driven Web sites, and more! Discover how to * Use SQL in a client/server system * Build a multitable relational database * Construct nested and recursive queries * Set up database security * Use SQL within applications * Map SQL to XML Amazon.com Review: This is the rare case of a book that can take you from a beginner to an advanced-intermediate level. Like many of the books in IDG's Dummies series, this volume begins with a definition ('What is SQL?') and ends with 'The Part of Tens,' a collection of tips in a top ten list form. Taylor writes in a breezy, entertaining style that SQL novices will find inviting. One caveat: The examples are given in Borland's Delphi, a rapid application development (RAD) tool. Some sections show several screen shots from Delphi and it may be difficult to follow along in these sections if you don't have the program in front of you. As with other Dummies books, SQL for Dummies is entertaining to read although the nonstop jokes may distract some readers from the technical content. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - rambling and disorganized This book is a waste of money. Disorganized, rambles, presents examples without explaining them fully, repeats sections, hard to find what you are looking for since it is written in such a hodgepodge style, not good for either learning for the 1st time or as a reference. Rating: - just what I wanted This was just what I wanted. I was pleased with the service and the book. Rating: - Great book I love the Dummies book. They make great reference material. They are a great resource for teaching. The SQL for dummies brought back everything that I learned about SQL when I was a computer programmer twenty years ago. My new career has required me to go back to relearning and making databases to keep track of massive quantities of information Rating: - exactly as the title describes... 0 to sql in just a few days. starts with basic relational database information and continues all the way up through advanced SQL functions. handy tear-out quick-reference card included. Rating: - We love it! Hardcore DBAs have knocked this book, but I have coworkers who reference it daily and they are now very experienced and knowledgable of SQL. see more Browse for similar items by category: Amazon Upgrade - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - All Amazon Upgrade Amazon Upgrade - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Computers & Internet Amazon Upgrade - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - For Dummies General - Archive - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Computers & Internet: Software: Introductory Guides: For Dummies: General Qualifying Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS
