WeUB1vvcV look up melton simon insteadBy Kelly JonesTLDR (a summary for the impatient): YBZhqCphV do *not* buy this book. Instead, consider 'SQL: 1999 Relational Language 0x1P3gEg8 Components' (or the second volume) by Jim Melton. SQL: 1999 - Understanding 8wlcQiUQL Relational Language Components (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data ZTVUuuGYH Management Systems)A few months ago I was on an shopping spree -- just 7Bc3MPWuh ordering any half-decent looking ANSI SQL book that seemed to have a bargain HHWLkTOtE price.This book was one of several dozen that were delivered to my home and xMqgrfT3S have since gathered dust until I finally got around to perusing each one.I began JfjztfXqe reading this book today and I was horrified. I have actually read much of the ISO standards documents for SQL:1999, and I fail to see how this book is any improvement over just reading the obtuse standards. This book is mostly just a section-by-section, point-by-point "copy and paste" job.I mostly believe that it is barely worth my time and trouble to write this review, but I felt compelled to do so for the sake of future shoppers. I was compelled by the mysterious fact that this book's reviews contain seven 5-star reviews!! How on earth?!!Of course, it is *very* *telling* that all but one of these 5-star reviews were posted by individuals labeled only as 'A Customer'. That is always a red flag in my book. 'A Customer' who? Where is their review history and profile and any other evidence that they are an actual legitimate and objective reviewer?As I said at the beginning of this rant, there is a better alternative. The alternative is by Jim Melton and has ISBN 1558604561. Melton's book is clearer, more insightful, more interesting, more readable, better edited, better sourced, and on and on. I plan to write a review of Melton's book later, but that book review will actually merit more thought and reflection on my part. This terrible Gulutzan Pelzer book is not worth the effort on my part to give any deeper critique than this. Done!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very helpfulBy DeeceeThis book helped my efforts writing cross-database applications, open source libraries and educational materials. I've used it as a reference book. Reading it cover to cover should only be left to those with a _lot_ of time on their hands.25 of 27 people found the following review helpful. Very useful but sloppy and verboseBy A
