The Complete Idiot's Guide to SQL Book

SQL (Structured Query Language) is the worldwide standard programming language for managing data in a relational database management system (DBMS). As more and more websites become dynamic in nature-driven by content derived by databases rather than static text and images-SQL is growing in popularity. The Complete Idiot's Guide[registered] to SQL provides students, programmers new to SQL, accountants, and others who need to manage data in a DBMS with a practical overview of the most common database management tasks, including: inserting data; retrieving and sorting it; filtering it; updating it; manipulating it; summarizing it; and, grouping it. Unlike other books on the subject that focus on just one flavor of SQL, The Complete Idiot's Guide[registered] to SQL provides the syntax for all of the major DBMSes, including: MySQL; Oracle; Microsoft SQL; PostgreSQL; DB2; Macromedia ColdFusion; Microsoft Access; and, Sybase.
