When you need fast, accurate, detailed, and up-to-date SQL information, "SQL in a Nutshell, Second Edition" is the reference you'll reach for every time. It's small enough to keep by your keyboard, and concise (as well as clearly organized) enough that you can look up the syntax you need quickly without having to wade through a lot of useless fluff. You won't want to work on a project involving SQL without it.
This book drills down and documents every SQL command and how to use it in both commercial (Oracle, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server) and open source implementations (PostgreSQL, and MySQL). It describes every command and reference and includes the command syntax (by vendor, if the syntax differs across implementations), a clear description, and practical examples that illustrate important concepts and uses. And it also explains how the leading commercial and open sources database product implement SQL. This wealth of information is packed into a succinct, comprehensive, and extraordinarily easy-to-use format that covers the SQL syntax of no less than 4 different databases. Praise for the first edition: "Everyone involved with creating, maintaining, or querying databases will value this book and wonder how they even managed without it!" --Elizabeth Zinkann, Sys Admin, April 2001 To order your copy or for more information, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sqlnut2/ or call 1-800-998-9938 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] SQL in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition Kevin E.
