★★★★★ 5
Easy to follow, well written book. Can easily be used in liue of a textbook. Get spiral edition.
Format: Spiral-bound
Walter Shields does a fantastic job of writing this book from a perspective that a reader will have no clue on databases, or SQL. I'm a former Database programmer, but after being away for so many years I had to come back to SQL, and I needed a reference quick. Everything is written in a step by step easy to swallow informational way that leaves no room for failure. Even the examples are fantastic. This book is compatible with opensource SQL so need to pay for anything but the book.
Get the spiral edition, it lays flat on the table and is easier to follow.
Unlike McGraw Hill, Cengage, Thomson Course Technology, this book doesn't expire and block you from buying a used copy to prevent you from downloading the files needed to learn.
A fantastic reference, a great book, timeless because it doesn't expire.
