The Programmers Guide to SQL

This book covers Structured Query Language (SQL), the standard that defines how to create and manipulate databases and the data that they store. It works well on two levels: As an in-depth yet concise tutorial on how to use the language, with lots of clearly worked examples and as a handy desktop reference on SQL implementation, covering all the major SQL statements that youre likely to need when programming databases, with example code for five major database systems: SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, and Access.
