Title: It's actually very good...
Review: I find it difficult to believe that there are too many errors strewn throughout the book. Most of the examples are in basic SQL, so some tailoring might be required for it to fit your individual DBMS. Of course, you can always go to the last chapters for practical applications using proprietary software.This leads me to remind the buyer that the book is about concepts and design, not Oracle/MySQL/Java etc etc programming. It teaches you things you might have missed if taught informally, such as database normalization and the use of various keys.For what it claims to be, it suits the job quite well, and is very detailed in how it describes database design and common pitfalls.Again, this is not a dedicated programming book, and only teaches design concepts and standards.
Is the review positive or negative?
