SQL: The Complete Reference, 3rd Edition

This is a great resource for those looking to dive into SQL. If anything, there is probably too much information. But this is 100% preferable over not enough information.

This is the "Perfect" SQL reference book. The information in this book is very comprehensive, you may not need another, It's pretty complete.

Exhaustive, valuable reference, but badly outdated in 2014 due to evolving standards. Author (Jim Groff) courteously acknowledged printing error on p. 242. In a highly technical book, that sort of thing can be very confusing to first-time learners and people reviewing the details of SQL. I hope a 4th Edition will appear soon.

Complete reference for SQL (SYSTEM QUERY LANGUAGE), for the last 30 years... I greatly recommend this book, for beginners and returning veterans.

complete and comprehensive

It is taughted as the best - but I got very sick and couldn't even get to the second class.

Very easy to read and quite comphrensive

Very Good condition

Informative, detail, great buy. I am learning coding for the first time. This easy to use study guide has been excellent.

Llego antes de la fecha marcada en excelente estado y exelente libro.

I bought this book to refresh my memory of SQL after not having used it for a number of years. It is very clearly and simply written on the whole, and the examples are easy to follow. A couple of minor niggles, though: the examples very often refer to sample databases which are tucked away in Appendix A, necessitating constant flicking back and forth to understand what is happening; and occasionally, the sample query results appear to be wrong. I would recommend that the authors run their queries for real and check the results against those set out in the book. On the whole, though, I would certainly recommend this book: hence the four stars.
