This is the rare case of a book that can take you from a beginner to an advanced-intermediate level. Like many of the books in IDG's Dummies series, this volume begins with a definition ("What is SQL?") and ends with "The Part of Tens," a collection of tips in a top ten list form. Taylor writes in a breezy, entertaining style that SQL novices will find inviting. One caveat: The examples are given in Borland's Delphi, a rapid application development (RAD) tool.

This book is a good, quick and easy to refer to reference book. I save a lot of time and it is interesting reading

D. Hanson said
This was a great addition to my library and love the fact that it it written in "plain" easy to understand language.

H. Shen said
This book is a waste of money. Disorganized, rambles, presents examples without explaining them fully, repeats sections, hard to find what you are looking for since it is written in such a hodgepodge style, not good for either learning for the 1st time or as a reference.

Jill M. Rapp said
This was just what I wanted. I was pleased with the service and the book.

I love the Dummies book. They make great reference material. They are a great resource for teaching. The SQL for dummies brought back everything that I learned about SQL when I was a computer programmer twenty years ago. My new career has required me to go back to relearning and making databases to keep track of massive quantities of information
