I have fairly recently completed a couple online SQL Certifications and wanted to expand my learning so I picked up this book. The writing is very simple to understand while staying complex within the SQL environment. I haven't fully made it through the book but have been flipping to certain areas when I get stuck in a problem and it has instantly provided insight and knowledge to help me figure out a problem. I can't to finish it and keep it on my bedside for future use.

I work in the data analytics field and thought it would be a good idea to brush up on my foundational understanding of SQL. This book provided that and much more. The language used was easy to understand and examples were explained thoroughly. The information this book provides helps you understand the what, how, and why of a SQL statement. This is a fantastic tool to bolster your understanding of SQL, especially in the data analytics world. I learned from my peers and I would highly recommend adding this to your library if you were in the same shoes. This helps bolster my SQL foundation in the Data Analytics space.

Although SQL isn’t my strongest skill, reading this book allowed many things to come full circle for me. I was able to refresh my memory and learn a few things along the way. I highly recommend this read for anyone who needs a deep refresh in SQL or is just getting started!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
