Good But Outdated
Exhaustive, valuable reference, but badly outdated in 2014 due to evolving standards. Author (Jim Groff) courteously acknowledged printing error on p. 242. In a highly technical book, that sort of thing can be very confusing to first-time learners and people reviewing the details of SQL. I hope a 4th Edition will appear soon.

An excellent book with minor flaws
I bought this book to refresh my memory of SQL after not having used it for a number of years. It is very clearly and simply written on the whole, and the examples are easy to follow. A couple of minor niggles, though: the examples very often refer to sample databases which are tucked away in Appendix A, necessitating constant flicking back and forth to understand what is happening; and occasionally, the sample query results appear to be wrong. I would recommend that the authors run their queries for real and check the results against those set out in the book. On the whole, though, I would certainly recommend this book: hence the four stars.
