 Keep on listening to the statements made here, especially the ones you
 don't understand. And try to answer them (not necessarily posting the
 answer to the list) and it will help you understand the queries.

Also called Learning by Teaching., great concept.

need a better book

2002-10-06 Thread John Jacques

Hello, I have a few SQL books, but they only have simple SQL queries in 
them.

I signed up with the list a few days ago and I have seen select 
statements that do amazing things. I went to the book store and they 
don't have any books with these types of select statements in them.

Please let me know the name of a book(s) that teaches how these complex 
select statements work.

Thanks
John

Honestly, the variety of complex statements makes it near impossible to have a 
how-to book in the subject. My approach is two-fold;
1. Understand the reference manual of how the SQL statements can build up.
2. Look at real code, either handcoded, or better yet, query building tools.
