Before this book I thought that only the O’Reilly books had the substance and depth I needed, but this book really gets in to the level of explanation I like. I am returning to a more technical role after being less involved in hands-on for a bit and this book has ramped me back up.

If you’ve read either of the first two editions of this book you know how useful it can be to help a new to intermediate SQL coder learn the ins and outs of the language. The book is designed to be used by people who are not SQL wizards. That is to say, if you can already code circles around your peers and you rarely look things up in the manual, then you are not likely to get much from SQL Queries for Mere Mortals. But if you are one of those “mere mortals” referenced in the title, this book will be quite helpful.

Part 1 of the book consists of the first three chapters and it sets the stage for the meat of the book by explaining things like relational theory, database 101, design, and a brief history of SQL. This material can safely be skipped if you feel you have the necessary background. The rest of the book digs into the task of teaching SQL: from the basics in Part 2, through joining, grouping and aggregating data, modifying data, and more. If you have a database environment you can work with, then working through the exercises provided in each chapter will help you to hone your SQL coding skills.

Now it is true that there are a lot of SQL books that have been published… and it can be difficult to choose which ones you want to buy. I think the authors have done a nice job of servicing a well-defined subset of the market – the non-expert SQL coder looking to learn more. If you think that describes you, then you would do well to add this book to your reading list.

tried a few other books before coming across this one, and they all fall in to two groups. superficial or overwhelming.

SQL for mere mortals, was and is the perfect fit for me. it’s gave me working knowledge and strong theoretical background. as it go to great length to explain how and why things work.

a good analyst know how to write the query, a supreme analyst, understand how the the query and the whole SQL ecosystem function. SQL for mere mortals, will set you well on the path for being great.
