#Review: SQL QuickStart Guide

This book is like Cliff Notes for classes I took in college on Relational Databases! To the professors who have tried cramming it down the throats of their students to no avail-- And to the students who struggle to wrap their minds around the concepts of:

• Structured Query Language
• Retrieving Data
• How to manipulate data
• Built-in Functions 
• Arithmetic Calculations
• Entering, Defining and/or modifying databases

I say Voila! This is the book you've been looking for!
It is a condensed version of what you need to know to get a good foundation of SQL to hit the ground running.

The side notes and illustrated examples are fairly thorough. There are links to resources where you can follow the book step-by-step. This is a great reference for those who need a refresher or are just learning about SQL and Relational Databases (or if you're a visual learner like I am).

My biggest challenge with the traditional textbooks used in my tech classes were they were overwhelmingly text-based and were lacking in examples to break up the monotony of hundreds of pages of text.

I reviewed this book in the paperback version. It is also available in an audible version and for Kindle.
