Anyone who does any work at all with databases needs to know something of SQL, and that increasingly today includes those using so-called NoSQL databases, because a strong trend in the industry is to make those databases accessible from SQL after all, at least for reporting purposes, and for analysis. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeginning SQL Queries, 2nd Edition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is written by the author of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeginning Database Design\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, an author who is garnering great reviews on Amazon due to the clarity and succinctness of her writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet started on mastering the one language binding the entire database industry. That language is SQL, and how it works is must-have knowledge for anyone involved with relational databases, and surprisingly also for anyone involved with NoSQL databases. SQL is universally used in querying and reporting on large data sets in order to generate knowledge to drive business decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood knowledge of SQL is crucial to anyone working with databases, because it is with SQL that you retrieve data, manipulate data, and generate business results. Every relational database supports SQL for its expressiveness in writing queries underlying reports and business intelligence dashboards. Knowing how to write good queries is the foundation for all work done in SQL, and it is a foundation that Clare Churcher's book, \u003cb\u003eBeginning SQL Queries\u003c\/b\u003e, 2nd Edition, lays well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite simple queries to extract data from a single table\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine data from many tables into one business result using set operations\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslate natural language questions into database queries providing meaningful information to the business\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid errors associated with duplicated and null values\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummarize data with amazing ease using the newly-added feature of window functions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTackle tricky queries with confidence that you are generating correct results\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestigate and understand the effects of indexes on the efficiency of queries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClare Churcher\u003c\/b\u003e (B.Sc.
