    My two cents as I'm working through Learning SQL by O'Reilly. I think it's very useful to try and write the queries while you're studying the chapters. This is because the 3 or 4 exercises at the end of each chapter are not enough to practice the things you've jus read. Sometimes you can anticipate what the author wants to achieve with the next query: try to write it yourself without looking, perhaps make a mistake, but then your mind wil absorb the concept more easily. These books are practical SQL books, the whole point is getting used to build queries in an efficient and clear way. :)

      You are absolutely right. I am learning from the 3rd edition and I almost run all queries in a chapter. The end exercises aren't even challenging

      Awesome tip.
      This is the exact technique I'm currently using and it's helping me learn SQL much more efficiently than when I began.
      Guys try it out, you'll be thankful.

    What do these books say about database design--including table normalization, enforcement of referential integrity, and the use of triggers and functions to ensure data integrity? In my 40+ years of SQL database design and development, I've found that these are the most important aspects of a successful SQL database. (I have not looked at these, but most books I've seen are sorely lacking in these areas.)

    • @Atlas92936
      @Atlas92936 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm currently going through the book Learning SQL and in Chapter 2 there is a section on data types and it's proceeded by normalization, and thinking about how the content of your tables might affect how you design it, and an example. I haven't came across the other things you've mentioned, but if I do, I will certainly mention it in this thread.

    Excellent advice and at the end I purchased the Practical SQL right after I watched your video, thank you so much for the wonderful advice. The other book by o’Reilly was ridiculous over priced in the US, $59.99.
    I’m halfway into chapter 1 and your correct the book is engaging.
    P.S. what is the difference between Machine Learning and Data Science? In reference to the study courses involved? Is the course for MachineLearning more of a challenge in comparison to Data Science? I’m guessing there is more math involved?

    practical SQL is book not for beginners its more focus on intermediate queries. why it has very small section editing and modifying database a very critical requirements on handling database. Most of the chapter failed to explain why you would do this queries its like he is doing for fun or to showoff complex queries. The samples most you can't relate. its not for beginners.
