This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
A helpful guide with a good amount of images and exercises to help a beginner find their way. It's informative and written in a clear, concise way, without using overly technical terms.

I requested this because I was about to start working with SQL following some training. However, COVID-19 put paid to that - I ended up sticking with my regular software packages and have yet to really start to work with SQL. So unfortunately, I have yet to appraise this book. Things are settling down, so hopefully in a few months I will be able to give this the attention it deserves and work through it.

This is a great and practical book for beginners. The book is easy to follow, conversational, and there are plenty of examples for practice. This is a no-nonsense approach to learning beginner SQL. ( )

Technology applications are typically dull and dry. But the author has done a great job of making SQL easily accessible. The practical applications are interesting and easy to follow. In a short amount of time, this book will help a novice see the big picture of SQL and help a beginner learner to effectively use SQL. ( )

I'm slightly above beginner level when it comes to SQL. I can build queries from scratch for most problems I'm trying to solve. But, for someone at my level, this book is an invaluable resource. I use it as a starting point to figure out why my query isn't working. That knowledge then allows me to go to another SQL reference or to Stack Overflow.

I highly recommend this book. ( )
