Short but not so sweet
Very 'mechanical' in approach and doesn't offer much enthusiasm. I wish I had looked elsewhere.

No accompanying material included
I only listened to the very beginning since the audiobook reffers the accompanying PDF file that isn't provided together with the book. The description doesn't mention that there is a PDF file included, but this situation discouraged me so much that it was the first book that I returned on Audible.

For the information, good, short, to the point.
The title explains it all. This is informative into a technical aspect of databases. I was just learning union statements. I'll give it a second listen.

This book tells you how to do stuff
It's very, dry, but it's all there. Downloading the accompanying .pdf is talked about in the first 3 minutes of starting the book/file and it's constantly referenced.
This book isn't fancy, doesn't explain extra stuff, it's kind of like a plain English version of a reference chart.
I'm in the process of learning SQL and feel I got a good sense of what it's capable of. It'd be good to listen to it while sitting in front of the computer ready to go.

No visuals
It is impossible to learn the SQL langues without a visual or diagram to follow.

Good for beginners
This is a great introduction to SQL. I took 2 semesters in college and just wanted a brush up. This covers pretty much everything that was in the 101 course. It was mentioned that there is no companion book download available. In the preface they give a link for the companion and as of June 2019 it's still available at that link. It has tables that you can reference as you go.
