Series: The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems

This book is the best way to make the leap from SQL-92 to SQL:1999, but it is much more than just a simple bridge between the two. The latest from celebrated SQL experts Jim Melton and Alan Simon, SQL:1999 is a comprehensive, eminently practical account of SQL's latest incarnation and a potent distillation of the details required to put it to work. Written to accommodate both novice and experienced SQL users, SQL:1999 focuses on the language's capabilities, from the basic to the advanced, and the ways that real applications take advantage of them. Throughout, the authors illustrate features and techniques with clear and often entertaining references to their own custom database, which can be downloaded from the companion Web site.

Reviews for SQL: 1999: Understanding Relational Language Components

Thanks for a great book -- I have read it from cover to cover and used it to set in place a few changes already. One that is working really well is chasing for money 21 days after invoice (due in 30) -- payment is frequently coming in less than 30 and I look forward to seeing the payment day's calculation decreasing from 74 in last years accounts!.. Your book has helped me think things through, and it really works! -- Customer review 20060403 Teach Yourself Small Business Health Check takes a studied approach to measuring the success of your business. -- Business Edge 20060401
