Whether you’re daunted by database development or a system admin star, SQL For Dummies, 7th Dummies will have you working your web site in no time at all.This is the rare case of a book that can take you from a beginner to an advanced-intermediate level. Like many of the books in IDG’s Dummies series, this volume begins with a definition (“What is SQL?”) and ends with “The Part of Tens,” a collection of tips in a top ten list form. Taylor writes in a breezy, entertaining style that SQL novices will find inviting. One caveat: The examples are given in Borland’s Delphi, a rapid application development (RAD) tool. Some sections show several screen shots from Delphi and it may be difficult to follow along in these sections if you don’t have the program in front of you. As with other Dummies books, SQL for Dummies is entertaining to read although the nonstop jokes may distract some readers from the technical content.
