(Library Ebook) SQL-99 Complete, Really

This document summarizes reviews of the book "SQL-99 Complete, Really". One review strongly discourages purchasing this book, finding it to be a "copy and paste" of SQL standards with little added value. The review recommends Jim Melton's book "SQL: 1999 - Understanding Relational Language Components" instead. Another positive review states the book helped with cross-database applications but should only be read cover-to-cover by those with a lot of time, as it is verbose.

look up melton simon insteadBy Kelly JonesTLDR (a summary for the impatient): YBZhqCphV
do *not* buy this book. Instead, consider 'SQL: 1999 Relational Language 0x1P3gEg8
Components' (or the second volume) by Jim Melton. SQL: 1999 - Understanding 8wlcQiUQL
Relational Language Components (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data ZTVUuuGYH
Management Systems)A few months ago I was on an shopping spree -- just 7Bc3MPWuh
ordering any half-decent looking ANSI SQL book that seemed to have a bargain HHWLkTOtE
price.This book was one of several dozen that were delivered to my home and xMqgrfT3S
have since gathered dust until I finally got around to perusing each one.I began JfjztfXqe
reading this book today and I was horrified. I have actually read much of the ISO
standards documents for SQL:1999, and I fail to see how this book is any
improvement over just reading the obtuse standards. This book is mostly just a
section-by-section, point-by-point "copy and paste" job.I mostly believe that it is
barely worth my time and trouble to write this review, but I felt compelled to do
so for the sake of future shoppers. I was compelled by the mysterious fact that this
book's reviews contain seven 5-star reviews!! How on earth?!!Of course, it is
*very* *telling* that all but one of these 5-star reviews were posted by individuals
labeled only as 'A Customer'. That is always a red flag in my book. 'A Customer'
who? Where is their review history and profile and any other evidence that they
are an actual legitimate and objective reviewer?As I said at the beginning of this
rant, there is a better alternative. The alternative is by Jim Melton and has ISBN
1558604561. Melton's book is clearer, more insightful, more interesting, more
readable, better edited, better sourced, and on and on. I plan to write a review of
Melton's book later, but that book review will actually merit more thought and
reflection on my part. This terrible Gulutzan Pelzer book is not worth the effort on
my part to give any deeper critique than this. Done!1 of 1 people found the
following review helpful. Very helpfulBy DeeceeThis book helped my efforts
writing cross-database applications, open source libraries and educational
materials. I've used it as a reference book. Reading it cover to cover should only
be left to those with a _lot_ of time on their hands.25 of 27 people found the
following review helpful. Very useful but sloppy and verboseBy A
