Great follow-on from Vol. 1. This is a larger volume and it delves more into DML--teaches some more advanced querying techniques like the use of ANY, ALL, correlated subqueries, and other great examples. I got a lot of mileage out of this book. It has some good material on SQL-server techniques not available in Jet SQL (Access) but I still found it a good manual on basic SQL techniques.

another great book in the series

I am really enjoying this series. Books one and two do an excellent job providing the foundation for becoming a SQL pro. The books are easy to follow and progress nicely. Also at 10$ each for the kindle version you can't beat the price!

Fantastic as always.... wish all other books were like this one: practical, less words and more labs.
