Summary: An Oldie but a Goodie to an Intermediate Level
Comment: With 5 other SQL titles on my shelf, plus docs from Sybase, Oracle & MS SQL Server, this is the book I (almost) always grab first.

Well-organized and well-written, an excellent walk-through of "the basics" and as a syntax reference with good examples.

Look elsewhere however for advanced administration and optimization techniques (Celko's SQL for Smarties is good in this regard). Consider this book as best for Beginner-to-Intermediate topics.

Rating: 5
Summary: Updated version of the book is available
Comment: For an updated verion of this great book by the same authors, look at SQL: The complete Reference - from Osborne. Most of the content is the same as the old book with about 300 pages of new material.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book, and not only for begginers
Comment: I must say, that this book is written by professionals. I have tons of books about SQL, and this book is among of the best.

What is important: authors waste no time on less important stuff. Every chapter, every paragraph in this book is like a sniper shoot.

All clear, all design philosophy is explained. Caveats are pinpointed, working examples provided.

This book will greatly help novices, and also will be useful for advanced users.
