Online answers to the questions at the end of each chapter (some questions are not answered) online quiz for each chapter, a great help. Stop for an hour in a quiz, so the quiz closes automatically. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. It's OK, but ... Kirk Scott, this is not a text to SQL, PHP, or a specific database system to learn. If you want a good text on design and standards, so it does an excellent job of defining this. Just finished a class with this book, and I'm less than thrilled to spend this text. Have prior knowledge of many subjects discussed in this book, I felt as though this book is not designed with functionality. Too many examples related to database systems in a very general way. I can understand why they would do this from a perspective of trying to cover as many bases as possible, but the content loses against trying to make everyone happy if this was presented as a simple design / standardization of the text so that he could have cut around 4 -5 chapters worth of rhetoric without a guide and it was a good alone. What I mean by this is that instead of taking a position to say an Oracle system and gives examples of good solid that can be explored and fished on the bottom, a waste of time and pointed out dozens of small differences between the database systems to leave the small student to go forward. Database systems are not much different that they could not just pick one and ran with it, knowing that the student would have been perfectly fine in the long run. Moreover, the website content of this book not be something you have to pay extra. In the case of this book may be an additional chapter or the value of the text and some multiple choice quizzes standards only to pull random words from the book without focusing on the real importance 3 of 4 found this review helpful. Angry fruit salad amore_zon ​​This book was required for the main text for a course on SQL. Too many pages to describe the basic concepts. "Fruit salad angry" because of the free use of color and boxes that make little to the meaning of content. Too much filler. Useless as a desk reference, so swapped back to Amazon. Also - even today, many texts are printed on glossy pages makes it difficult to read in less than ideal conditions. Read 5 reviews ....
