Perfectly intelligent programmers often struggle when forced to
work with SQL. Why? Joe Celko believes the problem lies with their
procedural programming mindset, which keeps them from taking full
advantage of the power of declarative languages. The result is
overly complex and inefficient code, not to mention lost
productivity.

This book will change the way you think about the problems you
solve with SQL programs.. Focusing on three key table-based
techniques, Celko reveals their power through detailed examples and
clear explanations. As you master these techniques, you'll find you
are able to conceptualize problems as rooted in sets and solvable
through declarative programming. Before long, you'll be coding more
quickly, writing more efficient code, and applying the full power
of SQL
