Book overview
Structured Query Language is the industry standard for querying
data held in relational databases. SQL can be used to create and
alter the structure of databases, add new data, and access or modify
existing data. Beginning SQL Programming begins by looking at what
SQL is, then moves on to teach you the fundamentals of ANSI SQL,
using the familiar Northwind database that comes with versions of
Microsoft Access and SQL Server.
The book gives step-by-step instructions, alerts readers to common
pitfalls, tricks and traps, and uses real-world examples, including
two extensive case studies, to create a thorough tutorial. It will
furnish readers with a firm grasp of SQL concepts that you can work
with straight away, as well as provide solid foundations and
challenging ideas with which you can later develop more advanced SQL
techniques.
Included with this book is a 120-day evaluation enterprise edition
