101 SQL FAQ

OracleSql2This book assembles in one convenient location the most common problems people encounter when using SQL and SQL*Plus to do ad hoc queries of Oracle databases. It is structured around specific questions and includes extensive cross-references to related material, making it useful to query writers of all levels of sophistication. Oracle SQL is based on a review of postings made to online Oracle discussion groups over a period of more than 2 years, so the questions appearing in the book are actual problems faced by real people doing their jobs.

Note: The publication date is 1997, so some of the material is dated. But the many annotated examples and answers to many of the questions should still be helpful. Enjoy.
