Synopsis

Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes, 2E is a tutorial-based book, organized into a series of easy-to-follow, 10-minute lessons. These well targeted lessons teach you in 10 minutes what some books take several hours or days to teach.

• Retrieve and sort data
• Filter data using comparisons and wildcards
• Use the aggregate functions to analyze data
• Perform insert, update, and delete operations
• Join relational tables using inner, outer, and self joins
• Combine queries using unions
• Use views
• Create and use stored procedures, triggers, and other advanced database features
