This command reference, designed for users of all levels, provides a user-friendly guide to the SQL database programming language. All commands will be listed alphabetically by functional area -- ideal for beginners who can locate commands based on the tasks they are trying to accomplish. In addition, the author has included a "roadmap" listing commands in alphabetical order at the front of the book that is ideal for more advanced users who know the command name and simply need to know a page number. Each command will include a hands-on example. The book reflects the new SQL standard, and should be one of the very first books on the market. Author includes extensive examples for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server implementations. This 6x9 reference is the perfect companion to Bowman's Practical SQL Handbook and is design to fit on the busy Database Developer's desk.
