Title: Joe Celko's Trees and Hierarchies in SQL for Smarties
Review: It's not what I expected.I'm doing alot of SQL programming now and there's also alot of self-joins and just simply alot of analytics in my new position using SQL. I thought this book would help me in this area but was wrong.If you have computer science background think of this book as trying to do binary trees and linked lists in one table. It uses one table fields to try to get to the left and right nodes and back to the root node. Don't get me wrong, if this is what you need to do then this book is right for you. However, if you want to do real life advanced application programming using SQL to get your job done I would highly recommend to review other books. Sincerely, JP
