Customer Reviews & Comments
I am the author of this book. I thought that I would take a moment to share a little about this book with you. SQL queries are what you develop or write when you are writing reports, customizing BI dashboards and developing software against a database. I've been helping new report developers and programmers write SQL, tune SQL and refactor SQL over the last 10 years. When I recommend a good SQL book or reference the online Oracle documentation I have found that it can be overwhelming for those new to SQL. This was my motivation in writing "SQL for Query Writers". "SQL for Query Writers" is a pure SQL book that leaves out all of the DBA-related SQL commands (as report writers are not typically managing databases). I also include many of the SQL optimizations that I have used over the years to achieve performance expectations (another hard thing to learn). So I invite you to take a look at my book with Amazon's Look Inside feature. The source code for creating the examples in this book is available online as a free download.
