Praise for SQL Pocket Guide

“Jonathan Gennick has done it again. He’s produced an excellent handbook that provides a very practical guide to the SQL language as it is implemented in the most popular database products today. This should be your first reference when you need to know how a product implements a certain feature; then go to the product documentation if you need additional details.”

Jim Melton, ISO/IEC 9075 (SQL) Editor; W3C XML Query WG Co-Chair

“This book is a virtually indispensable quick reference guide to the similarities and differences among SQL dialects. Application developers who work with multiple database products will want to keep this handy guide next to their keyboards.”

Ken Jacobs, Vice-President of Product Strategy, Oracle Server Technologies, Oracle Corporation

"SQL Pocket Guide is a perfect companion for the many database administrators out there who have to work on multiple platforms simultaneously. It is compact and to the point, easy to search, and it covers all five of your favorite vendors. Carry it with you wherever you go!”

Bruno Denuit, SQL Server Languages Team
