Title: SQL Instant Reference by Martin Gruber ISBN: 0-7821-2539-5 Publisher: Sybex Pub. Date: 08 March, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.29 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: SQL instant reference is just that
Comment: A good, concise, thorough, compact review of SQL92 in 350 pages, with user-friendly and thoughtful organisation and layout, and some examples.
Like other reviewers I am puzzled by complaints that it is not a primer for SQL beginners and does not cover vendor extensions to the SQL language. If you need a primer, by all means buy a primer. If you need a book on a vendor's product, buy one of those. There are dozens!
Rating: 5
Summary: Concise, manageable, more than enough information
Comment: I found this small reference to be a fantastic choice for me.
I don't understand and totally disagree with the bad reviews. This is a 380+ page REFERENCE that not only covers every single SQL command with examples and illustrations, it covers SQL92, SQL99, plus it also includes the fundamentals of relational databases, some database design theory, and even some introductory SQL in case you are not familiar with it. If this is not enough, you also get a very nice glossary. The book is not platform specific, which is another nice plus.
If you are looking for detail, get the SQL Programming from Wrox, or the SQL Unleashed book. If you want to quickly put out some fires, and want a manageable reference handy, then do not hesitate to buy this one.
5 stars and totally recommended.

Summary: A terrible SQL reference
Comment: I was very disappointed with this book. It does not really serve as a reference, but a small tutorial on SQL instead, with the text crowded into a small booklet. There are few tables and even fewew examples. Also, for MySQL users: Many of the capabilities are left out. I go to a reference to look up things, not to read through several pages only to find that what I'm looking for is not there.
