Customer Reviews & Comments
The authors of this book took an approach that is followed throughout the text. They define the problem abstractly, then eventually get down to business with implementation once they feel they have taught you enough about the concepts. If you are looking for a SQL text look else where. If you are looking for a text that teaches concept then detail, then this is your book. It doesn't get into any real amount of SQL until chapter 7, I believe. The reading itself is very easy to follow. Even though the topic is databases, the authors do have some mild humor.
