Book Description
This unique reference can be a major help to programmers who use SQL in their day-to-day work. Not just an endless collection of syntax diagrams, this small guide addresses the language's complexity head on and leads by example. If you need to look up the syntax for a particular statement, you'll find helpful examples of the technique. You can then combine several techniques for your own SQL statements. The book covers the three most commonly used database products: Oracle, IBM's DB2, and Microsoft's SQL Server. It's a concise reference to frequently used SQL statements and commonly used SQL functions.
The SQL Pocket Guide is written for programmers and database administrators who are already familiar with SQL (Structured Query Language) but want to utilize more of the language's features and syntax than they typically do. The book is small enough to always keep close by, and concise enough that you can look up the syntax you need quickly without having to wade through a lot of text.
O'Reilly's Pocket References and Guides have become a favorite among programmers everywhere. By providing a wealth of important details in a succinct, well-organized format, these handy books deliver just what you need when you're hard at work. When you've reached a sticking point and need to get to a solution quickly, the new SQL Pocket Guide is the book you'll want to have.
