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
SQL in a Nutshell begins where vendor documentation ends, by distilling 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.
