A Visual
Introduction to SQL, Second Edition
A basic understanding of Structured Query Language (SQL) should
be part of every IT professional's arsenal. A Visual Introduction
to SQL, by David Chappell and J. Harvey Trimble, Jr., provides
a unique tool for acquiring this understanding. Rather than focusing
on a specific vendor's SQL dialect, the book introduces the essential
core of the language. And by diagramming each query, the book shows
how the apparent complexity of SQL can be made readily understandable
using a simple visual representation.
An Example of the Book's Visual Approach:
