How could I give it anything but five stars? My dad wrote it!

Nice intro to the SQL syntax with a bit at the end covering special joins and relational integrity. Still holds up in 2021 as a good beginner resource.

The book serves as a good introduction to both SQL and basic data modeling topics. Moreover, it has a chapter on some special data models which are usually unintuitve to query.
