Once you've mastered the fundamentals, the book serves as a handy desktop reference on SQL usage, covering all of the major SQL statements that you'll need when programming databases. It also comes complete with example code for five major database systems: SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, and Access. In each case, the book demonstrates how the SQL standard is implemented (and and often extended) by each database system vendor. Specific topics include: Querying, modifying, and summarizing data using SQL functions Using complex nested queries and joins Programming database stored procedures, triggers, and views Creating tables, indexes, and other database objects Writing transaction-safe SQL Implementing basic database security The book also includes two complete case studies that show how to create and query the underlying database for a fully featured website, as well as how to implement role-based security in your applications. This book is ideal for any programmer, analyst, or database administrator in search of a SQL reference that also demonstrates how to use SQL to solve real business problems. |

| Publisher Description: STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL) is the language of the database. It's a stan- dard that defines how to manipulate almost every aspect of database, from creating the database and tables themselves to creating, reading, inserting, updating, and deleting data in the database. This standard is then implemented and extended differently by each database system vendor. The current version of the SQL standard is SQL-99. Most major database platforms now adhere fairly closely to this standard with a couple of exceptions. Microsoft Access, for example, has only recently (with Access XP) adopted the SQL-92 standard. Previous editions of Access supported only SQL-89. In this book, we'll walk through all the major SQL statements you're likely to need when programming databases. We'll highlight differences between the standard and implementations used in five major database systems: - SQLServer - Oracle - DB2 - MySQL - Access Who Is This Book For? This book is designed to meet the needs of both the novice SQL programmer who needs a bit of syntactical help and the developer using SQL day to day who needs a handy desktop SQL reference. You don't need to have done much data- base programming before, but some experience with databases will be useful. You should also have one of the five database systems mentioned earlier to gain the most benefits from this book. |
