SQL DML - Intro to the SQL Data Manipulation Language
With over 20 years of multi-vendor and open source database experience as a database developer, data modeler and architect, over 15 years of that using the Oracle database, Lewis Cunningham is one of a small group of people chosen to be an Oracle Ace Director.
After writing the definitive guide to EnterpriseDB, Lewis decided to set his sites on helping anyone who had the desire to get started with databases. The logical place to start is the Data Manipulation Language (DML) which is a part of the standard query language, SQL.
"The question I get asked most, both through email and on my blog," says author Lewis Cunningham, "is how do I get started? What should I learn to begin a career with databases? This book is meant to be that starting place."
This book, while using Oracle and MySQL in the examples, is vendor agnostic and offers a solid foundation in SQL DML. Intended for anyone who wants to start using SQL databases, with this book you can take that first step. This is an invaluable reference for any user of any SQL database. With this book, you will learn:
* How to write SELECT statements, including sub-queries
* Understand Transaction Control Commands
* Select clauses: FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING, UNION, MINUS
* How to Insert, Update and Delete data
The book is available from Amazon (both in a printed format and for the kindle), as an ebook from Mobi Pocketbooks:
