I can say this about the book: I learned a great deal about databases from this book. Before this, I didn't know a relational database from a relationship, but now I structure all types of databases and then I query those bad boys with ease. I am like a database junkie now, smokin' databases like an addicted crackhead. Pick up this book, extract the knowledge, then put it to use, and I guaranteed you, that all the ladies in the IT department will be yours for the taking.
