SQL: 3 books 1 - The Ultimate Beginner, Intermediate & Expert Guides To Master SQL Programming Quickly with Practical Exercises

This series, condensed into one easy purchase, is a thorough guide to SQL for beginners to experts. Because three books are combined into one volume, this is an excellent purchase for anyone interested in SQL as they can find valuable information no matter their expertise level. Information is broken down into helpful charts, graphics, and tables to support visual learners. The text is easy to read, with a clear and supportive tone that helps keep confusion out of the picture. Troubleshooting for common errors is built into the text, which is super helpful to a beginner like me. Definitely keeping this as a reference!

Already received the book and it is very clear in presenting how to query the data base, it is good for all levels starting from beginners, I recommend that one should have it if you need to learn SQL.

It has basic syntax used in sql and helps you manage a database using it. solid pick if you need to learn sql for any reason.

I like that this collection has all the levels: beginners, intermediate and expert (advanced), which makes it perfect for you to learn and become an expert, sooner than you think.

This book contains many examples that use incorrect syntax, and don't even provide a table for which the example queries are using (making it very unclear for a beginner). And many of the explanations lack detail and depth, providing only a sentence or two about concepts without any attempt at an intuitive explanation. I've only read ~25 pages in and it's immediately obvious that this book is worse than every free online tutorial that I've encountered. I'm confused as to how this has such a high rating.

I recently started working with SQL and this book has been a great resource.

I worked as a database administrator for a number of years before transitioning to a new position. However, doing SQL statements and looking at SQL databases is still a part of my job. However, when you are not doing SQL queries everyday, you need a reference. Having a reference on my kindle allows me to quickly dig in and find the answer. This book is very well put together and contains a lot of useful information. The information covers a variety of topics and will be useful for a variety of IT professionals and students.When I started my previous role of DBA, I bought a SQL admin book and kept it in my office. It was incredibly useful but had a had this book, I would have been more efficient. Over the years I have viewed many other SQL books and this is one of the best I have seen.If you need SQL or programing or database admin skills, this is the book for you. As an IT professional, I would highly recommend this book.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Alrighty, here comes a dose of truth and reality for this author.It appears to me this is an author who does know SQL, but perhaps has lost sight that he has completely left newbies to SQL behind and has absolutely no clue what to do when self-publishing a book.I have to agree with some of the lower ratings here, this book has several errors with incorrect syntax which will only frustrate a newcomer to SQL...and has forgotten too to provide illustrations or examples from where queries are pulling, this is only going to confuse a beginner.Where are the explanations about why you are doing what you are doing? This is something a newbie needs, or the difference between the different types of coding for lets say SQL or SQLite? This is bound trip newbies up too, one cannot use the exact same thing for either. This was something I really struggled with when being introduced to SQL.Yes, there are good things to be had in this book which is the only reason I did not give merely 1 star, but there are just too many errors for me to recommend to to someone wanting to learn.Also, HUGE marks off for COMPLETELY leaving the book title and author name off the the spine of the printed book as well as having absolutely NOTHING on the back to say what this book is about...REALLY???? Who does this?? Does this author have ANY idea what a bad impression this makes? Wow, I have reviewed hundreds of books a year over the last decade and have NEVER seen this before. This screams "I don't know what I'm doing!"Why would I listen to this author about anything if he makes this big of a mistake when it comes to something just about everyone knows when it comes to books....has he ever picked a book in print up? Perhaps he shouldn't have self-published, or maybe he just doesn't want anyone to actually find his book on a book shelf.If he doesn't take his own book seriously enough to find out what he should have done when publishing it, I can't take his advice seriously either.UPDATE: I've tried using this book for a few months now. It's even more disappointing than I first expected. This calls itself the "Ultimate Beginner, Intermediate & Expert Guides to master SQL". That could not be more false, they don't even go over some of the most basic commands such as: SELECT, FROM, WHERE, UPDATE, APPEND, GROUP BY, OFFSET, FETCH, UNIONS, TRUNCATE, ROLLBACK, DELETE etc, etc, etc.This book is in NO WAY even a beginner's book, much less for someone advanced.

Me gusta la calidad del libro el empastado y la rapidez con que llego. El contenido es amplio y se me hace un poco desordenado con ejemplos no muy claros y con poca explicación. Pareciera que más adelante se va explicar más pero no es así. Le falta explicar más a detalle creo que las funciones y usar ejemplos. Alguna base para usar y avanzar sería conveniente como en otros libros pero no.

Estou gostando muito do livro com seu conteúdo que está esclarecendo muitos aspectos da linguagem SQL.

The book has poor organization of the subject. If I haven’t taken google data analysis course before, I wouldn’t get what the writer explain in the book. The examples of queries is also insufficient. Lack of background introduction.

I tried to return it after a few days from my Kindle. But since I had sifted through a few chapters, I was not allowed to return the book. I was looking for an in depth explanation on sub queries which is not in this book.

An SQL server is a server that allows you to manage organizational databases according to the relational model, using an SQL language or Structured Query Language. In this way it is possible to read, modify and delete the data present in the database, but also to use management and control functions on the database system itself. The 3 books are full of detailed information but written in a simple and understandable way. A good job recommend it
