SQL is fun! While I have by no means mastered the language, I HAVE read every page of this book, and worked my way through many of the practice sets. Most fun of all is playing with the clauses to create practice queries for myself. Yay, SQL!

I greatly preferred Sam's Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes, and this book presented very few additional topics.
