For programmers, analysts, and database administrators, SQL in a Nutshell
is the essential reference for the SQL language used in today's most popular
database products. This new edition clearly documents every SQL command
according to the latest ANSI standard, and details how those commands are
implemented in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Oracle 11g, and the MySQL 5.1 and
PostgreSQL 8.3 open source database products. You'll also get a concise overview
of the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) model, and a clear-cut
explanation of foundational RDBMS concepts -- all packed into a succinct,
comprehensive, and easy-to-use format. This book provides:
- Background on the Relational Database Model, including current and
previous SQL standards
- Fundamental concepts necessary for understanding relational databases and
SQL commands
- An alphabetical command reference to SQL statements, according to the
SQL2003 ANSI standard
- The implementation of each command by MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL
Server
- An alphabetical reference of the ANSI SQL2003 functions, as well as the
vendor implementations
- Platform-specific functions unique to each implementation
Beginning where vendor documentation ends, SQL in a Nutshell distills
the experiences of professional database administrators and developers who have
used SQL variants to support complex enterprise applications. Whether SQL is new
to you, or you've been using SQL since its earliest days, you'll get lots of new
tips and techniques in this book.
