"As a consultant with more than 12 years of experience working with
Oracle databases on a daily basis, reviewing this book was a unique
and enjoyable experience. The SQL language is without doubt one of
the most critical database skills and it is best learned by
example. This book addresses that crucial need. Mr. Powell does an
excellent job of clarifying the concepts by using meaningful and
easy to understand examples. Frankly, I have not come across any
other book on SQL that is as good a compilation of SQL concepts in
a single source as this book.
One comes across very few books that make a significant difference
in your fundamental understanding of the subject. This is one such
book if you want to understand a core database skill – SQL. This
book deserves a place in your library and you will find it a great
reference not only for learning SQL but also for learning data
relationships, data organization, data analysis possibilities and
so forth. I feel that the title, Oracle SQL: Jumpstart with
Examples, might be too simplistic to describe the content. Read on,
you will find the real value hidden inside this book." -- Ravi
Sharma, Senior Principal Consultant
