5 comments about SQL from the Ground Up.

1. I do not agree with the negative reviews posted about this book. As a professional developer I find this book to be extremely helpful. It is far from perfect (what computer book is this days?) but it is a valuable asset for me and the other members of my programming team. This book is so popular that we have multiple copies making the rounds around the office!



2. After reading just 3 chapters of this text, I was forced to put it to rest. The number of errors, particularly in the examples, were frustrating and confusing. I am an IT professional. My company would never accept work that wasn't as error-free as possible. Obviously, the editors are not placed under similar expectations.



3. This book does not properly match my requirements because I had expected a more advanced book on SQL before I bought this one but it still is an OK book to have. (the title says 'from the group UP' so I thought that it would take me up to be an expert SQL scriptor) It gives me lots of basic SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT, CREATE TABLE, etc.. but not complex commands to use in real situations. So if you are an SQL novice, this book will do but if you are looking for SQL book for using as a referrence book, try to find another book.



4. The book really deserve zero stars. The main theme of this book is ERRORS. The book also has poor explanations. Personal Oracle 8 takes about 8 hours to download if all you have is a 56k modem. I cancelled the download when I saw that it was going to take that long. This was around page 100 and at which time I decided to give up on the book and put it on sale and sold it for 10 bucks. I considered myself lucky. I thought it was going to serve me as a nice review, but that was a bad idea. I should have stuck to my copy of Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 24 hrs.



5. This book is good for someone new. However, there are several typos in the book that may make you go crazy if you don't realize they are just typos.
