Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to SQL and thank you so much for picking up my book. I sincerely hope that this book can help you master SQL fast and introduce you to the exciting world of databases.
This book adopts a hands-on approach to learning. As we progress from one chapter to another, we’ll be doing various exercises. You are strongly encouraged to follow along these exercises.
At the end of the book, we’ll also be working on a new project together. This project involves building a SQL database for a sports complex. We’ll learn to build the database, insert data, perform queries, write routines, views, cursors, and more.
