S QL: The Complete Reference, Second Edition provides a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the SQL language for both technical and nontechnical users, programmers, data processing professionals, and managers who want to understand the impact of SQL in today’s computer industry. This book offers a conceptual framework for understanding and using SQL, describes the history of SQL and SQL standards, and explains the role of SQL in various computer industry segments, from enterprise data processing to data warehousing to web site architectures. This new edition contains new chapters specially focused on the role of SQL in application server architectures, and the integration of SQL with XML and other object-based technologies.
This book will show you, step-by-step, how to use SQL features, with many illustrations and realistic examples to clarify SQL concepts. The book also compares SQL products from leading DBMS vendors—describing their advantages benefits and trade-offs—to help you select the right product for your application. The accompanying CD-ROM contains actual trial versions of three of the leading brands of SQL DBMS, plus instructions on how to download a trial version of a fourth version, so you can try them for yourself and gain actual experience in using the major DBMS products from Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM, and the popular open source DBMS MySQL.
In some of the chapters, the subject matter is explored at two different levels—a fundamental description of the topic, and an advanced discussion intended for computer professionals who need to understand some of the internals behind SQL. The more advanced information is covered in sections marked with an asterisk. You do not need to read these sections to obtain an understanding of what SQL is and what it does.
