Not for DummiesMar 15, 2010
I'm sorry but, having completed Book I, I'm just not grasping the underlying structure of this book. Its purpose, or intended audience, actually seems to vary and be unfocused. On minute, information is conveyed as if we have a background in the field; then later seems to assume there is no previous knowledge. Many of the examples really don't make sense to those with experience. If I didn't already know a good bit about this stuff, I'm not sure where I'd be in terms of understanding the material. I wouldn't want this to lay my foundation, nor do I think that it could.
I didn't worry too much about buying a 'For Dummies' book, because I thought they were somehow reviewed and approved by a board of some sort, for clarity and quality of content.
I'm also sorry to see I paid so much for it. Not sure I will get what I wanted from it, which was to fill in some gaps and acquire a quick synopsis of SQL.
