Hi,
The editor of the book sent me a note shortly after the book was released about the lack of downloadable example code, saying:
The SQL Cookbook author and I made a conscious decision not to offer downloadable code. We did that for a couple of reasons. Solution snippets tend to be small. And the nature of SQL is such that queries need to be crafted to match the database design. Rarely, if ever, will any reader be able to directly drop our SQL into their application. What's important is that they grasp the technique of a given recipe, and then adapt that technique to their own situation.
