Book News Annotation:Combining a comprehensive tutorial with a reference is a very good
idea in the case of this software, which combines a SQL dialect with
significant power. SQL master van der Lans works from the ground up
so users can be more efficient from the start, and uses case studies
and examples throughout to bring reality into the mix. He introduces
the product with a case study database as he instructs on
installation and theory, moving to querying and updating data, using
SELECT statements with table expressions and subqueries (with
encyclopedic coverage of the relevant statements and clauses),
loading and unloading data, updating tables, creating database
objects by with tables and integrity constraints, creating character
sets and collations, changing and dropping tables, using indexes,
setting up databases and applying security measures. He handles
procedural database objects such as stored procedures and functions,
triggers and events and concludes with tips on programming with SQL,
including creating transactions and multi-user events.
