SQL: 1999: Understanding Relational Language Components

by Jim Melton, Alan R. Simon

SQL: 1999  is the best way to make the leap from SQL-92 to SQL:1999, but it is much more than just a simple bridge between the two. The latest from celebrated SQL experts Jim Melton and Alan Simon, SQL:1999 is a comprehensive, eminently practical account of SQL's latest incarnation and a potent distillation of the details required to put it to work. Written to accommodate both novice and experienced SQL users, SQL:1999 focuses on the language's capabilities, from the basic to the advanced, and the ways that real applications take advantage of them. Throughout, the authors illustrate features and techniques with clear and often entertaining references to their own custom database.

The book is really important and cover the basic concepts and standards of SQL but the problem with lack of focus on the subject of the book and referring many times to different book chapters inside one paragraph as well as keep demonstrating comparison between SQL1999 and old versions which cause some distractions while reading
