| 2. |  | Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes (3rd Edition) from Sams Price: $13.59 Customer Review:  I bought this book to learn SQL for advancement at work. Once I downloaded the database tables from the author's website, the chapters are very easy to follow along with. The chapters really do take 10 minutes. I do a couple a day. I find this way of learning doesn't overpower the brain. Great book! |

| 10. |  | Database Systems Design, Implementation, and Management from Course Technology Ptr (Sd) Customer Review:  This text covers database theory and some SQL (two chapters or so). I think it's generally good book as an intro to database systems. It will not make you into DBA or programmer, but you'll feel better grip of database concepts you may encounter in other more 'practical' books (like DB... |
