Joe Celko served 10 years on ANSI/ISO SQL Standards Committee and contributed to the SQL-89 and SQL-92 Standards. Mr. Celko is author a series of books on SQL and RDBMS for Elsevier/MKP. He is an independent consultant based in Austin, Texas. He has written over 1200 columns in the computer trade and academic press, mostly dealing with data and databases.
"Joe Celko, maybe one of the most prominent representatives of the database community these days, has written some of the best books about SQL programming in general. This book, however, is different. "SQL Programming Style" doesn't teach you how to become a better SQL developer with SQL puzzles and brainteasers. Rather, it shows you "how to work in logical and declarative terms"." - SQL-Server-Performance.com, August 17, 2006
