Excellent reference to SQL

This is the best SQL reference I have come across. It covers all aspects of programming in SQL as well as how SQL works under the hood. The material is written in a lucid manner so every topic is accessible. It can be used as a beginner's text, too, but its strength is really in its complete coverage and accuracy.I found the CD-ROM excellent because it let me try out MS SQL Server 7, Oracle8, Sybase and IBM's DB2.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to learn SQL as well as to...
