5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent starting point - few days and you can start coding
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023

The book gives basic understanding and practical knowledge, fast, clear, explanatory, and very understandable.
Very recommended for beginners who want to start coding within short time.
This book has NO unnecessary talks about the author experience and other bla-bla-bla as found in other books.
For example, I bought other book and its first 38 pages are full of boring stuff about the author thoughts and understanding over the time - boring and useless. I wanted knowledge and info, and by the time, I'll have thoughts of my own.
This book is straight to the point - teach, explain, gives example for understanding, and "gets you into the business" within short while.
Read the book trough - ad you are ready for coding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but not necessarily One Day
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
I'm currently taking a SQL class through an online university. The study and practice materials they provided left a lot to be desired so I decided to purchase this book as a supplement.

The author does a fantastic job of breaking things down so anyone who has even basic PC skills can understand the material. On this, it gets Five Stars Plus.

The only challenge is the exercises you do in MySQL build and progress from previous exercises. Although MySQL checks for most errors, it is possible to write something that MySQL understands and executes but has user errors you made in the data or formulas. You figure this out only after you think you've completed exercise "D" correctly, only to have problems when you start writing MySQL in exercises "E" or "F". In this case, you have to go back, figure out where you made a mistake, undo things using the DROP command and re-do "D" correctly before you can complete "E", "F" and so on.

Although the book is a quick read, actual practice (depending on how much time you devote) is likely several days - especially if you do the project in the final chapter.

Overall, though, a great book that's an incredible bargain for learning MySQL quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book is 4-5 years old and some things have changed.
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2023

There are a couple things buyers should know about this book. It's about 4-5 years old and some things have changed since it's publication. It took me 2 days and lots of research to figure out how to download the MySQL programs needed to work along with this book. The instructions are outdated.

The programs were successfully downloaded after about 6 tries but I was able to get in and start learning earlier today. After about 90-120 minutes of work I'm on page 37 and have already learned quite a bit. The first bit of the book is about how to build databases and tables, so if you're just wanting to learn to query a database you can skip the first 4 chapters. There are 151 pages and 13 chapters in total.

I do feel like I'll need to reinforce my learning from this book with some youtube videos or online instruction. I feel like it'll take a lot of practice with data to learn SQL thoroughly enough to be comfortable using it in a professional setting. The book is worth the buy but if I had to do it again I would probably buy a different book that's a bit more thorough and updated. I would give 3.5 stars if I could.

This book one of the best one if you just started or if you want quickly refresh your memory. That's funny how author find the way using project force you to type the code, and reread(this I hate mostly, go back what you already learn) information which should be read twice to memorize. I am not native speaker so for me it's was difficult to read some materials but this one was really good write and cover not !!! less !!! for beginner book.

3.0 out of 5 stars More focused on procedures, functions, and views
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021
Verified Purchase
I'm kind of torn because the first 80 pages are a pretty terse way to explain it, and not bad. For $2 and about an hour of my time it was worth it because I constantly struggle with SQL.

However, I would say I learned far more from youtube, but did definitely take away triggers, procedures, and just had some extra practice. However, if you are a developer looking for practice check our sqlbolt or some youtube videos, this book is half procedures/functions which honestly are not very useful for developers. Another resource that is helping me learn SQL nonetheless. Not bad, but certainly not a book that will have someone leaving with the understanding you would want to tackle real queries.

This book takes someone from zero mySQL experience to competent in a short amount of time. While I took more than a day to complete the book, the author's method gradually increases the reader's knowledge and ability. The examples are easily replicated and the project at the end successfully summarizes the previously covered material. I recommend this book to anyone brand new to mySQL.

Started as a complete beginner but really caught on thanks to this book. The project at the end really helps bring things together.

I'm going to take a sql course on udemy.com to really bring it home because I still need more practice despite this being a great start.

5.0 out of 5 stars The SQL Book that College and Data Anaytics/Science Bootcamps Should Adopt
Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2021
Verified Purchase
While the title might sound overly ambitious, the dedicated learner could complete this book in a single day. However, I recommend 2-3 days depending on the reader's prior knowledge of SQL so they have time to absorb and put the concepts into practise. This is the perfect SQL book for a quick refresher before an interview.

My reasons for buying "SQL: Learn SQL (using MySQL) in One Day and Learn It Well" are two-fold: I want a concise, practical SQL handbook and I want to prepare for data analytics interviews and those inevitable tests that today's employers use to evaluate technical knowledge.

The author introduces each SQL statement in an exceptionally easy to understand way. The focus is on practcal skills, not theory. The book wraps up with a complete real-world style project so you can practise that newly acquired knowledge and skills. Unfortunately, entity-relationship diagrams are not addressed which, in my opinion, might help complete beginners better understand why database developers divide the data into multiple tables and how those tables are related.
