The Art of SQL does not fall into the trap of becoming “just another reference” for SQL users. It tackles real world problems with the point of view that you know how to write SQL code, but may need help in the proper tactics to most effectively handle them. What is refreshing is that it does not say here is a piece of code that will do this…it says, that may work, but here is a better way and why.


This is the book to have if you want to discover better practices for your SQL.
