Groth and Gerber have provided a quick and practical overview of SQL concepts and database design before moving into a tutorial on SQL commands and uses. The explanations are good, although the exercises are a bit terse. One of the very useful aspects of the book is the inclusion of contact information for vendors of a whole variety of SQL related products. Fourth generation languages, middleware, query tools, report writers and more can be found in the lists provided. copyright Robert M.
