If you're looking for a book with a collection of tricks & tips and
rules for formatting and writing portable, readable, maintainable SQL
code, you'll find what you need here!

Are you an SQL programmer that, like many, came to SQL after learning
and writing procedural or object-oriented code? Or have switched jobs
to where a different brand of SQL is being used, or maybe even been
told to learn SQL yourself?

If even one answer is yes, then you need this book. A "Manual of Style"
for the SQL programmer, this book is a collection of heuristics and
rules, tips, and tricks that will help you improve SQL programming
style and proficiency, and for formatting and writing portable,
readable, maintainable SQL code. Based on many years of experience
consulting in SQL shops, and gathering questions and resolving his
students' SQL style issues, Joe Celko can help you become an even
better SQL programmer. More specifically, this book will give you
expert advice from a noted SQL guru and award-winning columnist.

that can be maintained and used by other people.

Enables you to give your group a coding standard for internal use, to
enable programmers to use a consistent style.

Gives you the mental tools to approach a new problem with SQL as your
tool, rather than another programming language-one that someone else
