Title: Badly organized
Product review: I have a solid knowldege of conceptual data modelling but had no knowledge of SQL. This book, although containing the required information, is very badly organized. Examples are given before you can try them out, since you build the tables at a later stage. The "hour" discussing normalization is simply misleading and shows an example completely unrelated to the normalization rule it is supposed to apply. I used Oracle SQL and found that a lot of the examples didn't work in Oracle SQL environment. Maybe it takes less than 24 hours (I agree, it takes much less) but the time it takes is very frustrating. I simply didn't enjoy learning with this book.
