Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
This is the rare case of a book that can take you from a beginner to an advanced-intermediate level. Like many of the books in IDG's Dummies series, this volume begins with a definition ("What is SQL?") and ends with "The Part of Tens," a collection of tips in a top ten list form. Taylor writes in a breezy, entertaining style that SQL novices will find inviting. One caveat: The examples are given in Borland's Delphi, a rapid application development (RAD) tool. Some sections show several screen shots from Delphi and it may be difficult to follow along in these sections if you don't have the program in front of you. As with other Dummies books, SQL for Dummies is entertaining to read although the nonstop jokes may distract some readers from the technical content.

rambling and disorganized November 6, 2008

This book is a waste of money. Disorganized, rambles, presents examples without explaining them fully, repeats sections, hard to find what you are looking for since it is written in such a hodgepodge style, not good for either learning for the 1st time or as a reference.

5 out of 5 stars

Great book August 29, 2008
Smart Blonde (Monterey, California)
I love the Dummies book. They make great reference material. They are a great resource for teaching. The SQL for dummies brought back everything that I learned about SQL when I was a computer programmer twenty years ago. My new career has required me to go back to relearning and making databases to keep track of massive quantities of information
