This book serves as an introduction to SQL's fundamentals. Although prior SQL experience is not necessary, it is necessary to have a broad computer science understanding.
My goal in developing this was to give a moderate introduction to SQL syntax so that the reader could understand the components of queries they encountered and even build simple SQL statements and queries on their own. The book does not have an exhaustive topic coverage, hence it is not meant to be a reference work or for a full-time database administrator.
