## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Most definitely not for beginners
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2014*

The author spends a few pages early on whining about being dinged in reviews for earlier editions by people expecting a book more oriented toward those learning SQL. This is most definitely not that book.In fact, you'd best be pretty familiar with the terminology of SQL, of data bases, and ideally somewhat familiar with competing dialects of SQL implementations. Until you are -- and you will be by the end of the book -- it can be hard to understand what he is communicating. He takes no prisoners.Having plowed thru the book, I was a worthwhile purchase and did give me a few immediately useful tips I was able to use. (E.g., in addition to inclusion criteria in a WHERE statement, you can also include redundant exclusion criteria. Doing so sped up procession of a series of time consuming commands from a half hour to a few minutes.) And I better appreciate the many & complex ways SELECT statements can be configured and assembled.Most of the book looks a specific problems or types of problems, and the methodologies to address them. From the pattern of approach you will learn to build your own solutions to your own problems. But again, the book is not intended as a tutorial on basic or even intermediate SQL. It is not a tutorial at all save for a study on each of a variety of common problems DBAs face.

    highly recommended

This is the second copy of this book I've bought after seeing one of our really smart DBAs copy. Excellent examples from a variety of types of queries and god textual annotation to back them up. You will want a copy on your shelf if you write any SQL queries beyond 'select * from my_table'

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Content Horribly Written
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013*

This book has some fantastic information in it on how to properly write SQL code, especially from the perspective of a programmer in a structured language.  The major glaring problem with the book is its editing.  There are typos everywhere, many of them in code examples, which breaks them.  Additionally large portions of the text are copied from chapter to chapter, probably making up 5% of the book.  This seems lazy and also makes the book more confusing as you get a nagging feeling of deja vu.  With a good editor this book might be worth 5 stars.  As it is the book is only 3, causing a lot of confusion and problems where there shouldn't be any.
