great book, shame about the CD

A very good book for getting up to speed quickly - the examples are clearly laid out and meaningful- just a shame that none of the examples and sample data that the book and CD says are on the CD are actually on the CD

What you need to know about SQL

This book is a streamlined, concise presentation of the ANSI-standard SQL:1999 that all implementations seek to match. It presents the SQL data types and commands and provides examples of their use. The book concentrates on the SQL functions that most people are likely to need, without getting highly technical about obscure, little-used features. It makes a handy reference for the experienced SQL programmer as well as an easy to follow introduction for people new to SQL.
