TAMPA, Fla., March 18, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Structured Query Language (SQL) is the industry standard database programming language used to create and maintain relational databases. It plays a key role in many different systems, so understanding how to use it is truly an asset. In Cecelia L. Allison's new book, SQL Simplified: Learn to Read and Write Structured Query Language (now available through 1stBooks), she teaches readers the fundamentals of this important language.
SQL Simplified is unique in that it focuses wholly on the bare bones language, rather than on database design or on the Database Management Systems (DBMS) that utilize it. She provides programmers with the essential tools needed to thoroughly understand SQL.
Allison touches on the many facets of SQL, including tables, filter retrieved data and calculated fields. Each chapter tests comprehension with quizzes and assignments and includes important notes and key terms. It is the ultimate guide for anyone serious about mastering this popular programming language.
Perfect for students and professionals who wish to create, manage or add security to databases, SQL Simplified is a simple and informative book that leaves readers confident in their abilities to work with SQL in any database environment.
Allison is a freelance webmaster and works as an instructor on SQL on the Internet through universities, colleges and other education facilities. She holds a bachelor's degree in finance and a master's degree in computer information systems. SQL Simplified is her first book.
