Recently, I have started working on a project which requires knowledge of SQL. We were originally planning to use an Oracle database, but switched to postgreSQL. This book has a concise introduction to relational database theory, then provides syntax for all SQL commands along with variations from 4 vendors. If the pattern continues, we may end up switching database vendors again in the future, so we are trying to write SQL that works on as many databases as possible. This book provides the necessary information to do so. I would not want to work on a project involving SQL again without it.
