Title: Not very foresighted
Product review: The book doesn't teach you how to create tables until the latter part, so that when you run the SQL script (CREATES.TXT), you'd be left hanging if you got errors (as I did with MS SQL 7.0).I don't know what the author was thinking, but if the book is truly for beginners, then she should have provided more details on the creation of the example files right at the beginning of the book, or perhaps different SQL script versions for the more popular SQL Servers out there.I had spent 4 days out of town and seriously read this book without a PC at the time, only to be disappointed that I could not create the tables in the book when I came back. Being a beginner in SQL, I wasn't exactly sure where to go from there.So here I am now, shopping for another book. Disappointing.
