What do you get when you buy SQL Practice Problems? What does SQL Practice Problems not contain? From customer "Probably the most useful technical book I've used! Challenging problems with appropriate hints - use as needed. She should be writing other books."- A. J. "I have numerous books on SQL, and have taken courses from people with lots of experience with data and SQL. Alas, knowing the material is not the same as being able to present it clearly and in digestible bites. Obviously, you have that knack. I have learned things from your book that nobody ever showed me before. I sincerely hope that you will write more books."- H. V "I am starting from scratch, all self-taught so far in SQL, and was picking up the syntax and wording, but I could not find anything to give me real world application and scenarios. This book changed that! Great book, great problems, really makes you think ."-M.G.
