Customer Reviews

Great wee book for the bus ....................................with instant obsolesence.
These reference books are great for stuffing in your pocket as you rush for the bus in the morning. MySQL Pocket Reference , being a particularly good example. MySQL , the language , has many variants or versions , resulting in instant obsolescence on publication.
Pocket books are the best option when trying to remember the syntax of 90% of SQL functions .
Great wee book.
