Mastering SQL: A Beginner's Guide (Mastering Computer Science)
by Sufyan Bin UzayrMastering SQL helps readers gain a firm understanding of the Structured Query Language. Structured Query Language, more often known as SQL, is the de facto standard language for working with databases. It is a specialized language for handling data-related tasks like creating a database, putting information into tables, modifying and extracting that information, and much more. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL light, etc. are only a few examples of SQL implementations. SQL is a fast and efficient database system. SQL allows for the rapid and efficient retrieval of huge numbers of data entries from a database. It’s a relational database. Thus, data is described in a more orderly fashion than in an unstructured database like MongoDB. Insertions, deletions, inquiries, manipulations, and computations of data through analytical queries in a relational database may all be performed in a matter of seconds. With Mastering SQL, learning SQL becomes straightforward; using this book and resource will undoubtedly help readers advance their careers. The Mastering Computer Science series is edited by Sufyan bin Uzayr, a writer and educator with over a decade of experience in the computing field.
