Customer Reviews

Do not buy this book !!1
A SQL "instant reference" of syntax, etc., is a great idea. Unfortunately, this book is SO FULL of errors, that as a SQL DBA, I got tired of red-lining errors in the book and correcting them!! It sits gathering dust on my bookshelf. Professionals should stick to Joe Celko.

Great reference!5
This is the most used of my SQL book collection - pure syntax, and some paltry notes. For the person who is really serious and doesn't want to read a tome that talks down to you.

Pretty good, small sized reference.4
This book covers the sql standard only. It does not cover anything which is db specific. I feel it is a good bood if you want quick access to statement syntax without having to leaf through a 3000 page book.
