Its a Reference and just that

Found it quite useful to quickly refer to commands, their syntax and their use. The syntax diagrams take up a lot of useful space in the book but I found the book to be quite handy every time i forget the syntax of a command. It is not a detailed SQL manual though

Good Content but could be better organized

I am a student of Oracle and found the book to be very useful and handy for quick references. It is well written and can be a useful desktop reference. However, the organization of the book could be better. The keywords section should be with the main content.

A handy guide to SQL!

This book is definitely a handy reference for SQL programmers. It gives the quickest succinct way to look up specific SQL commands and syntax with brief but clear examples. Syntax diagrams for each command are included in a separate section for the interested reader... Its not a indepth tutorial type manual but a definitive quick reference to SQL
