SQL Know-How for Developers

From his time working as a developer, Markus knows that if you cannot find the information to answer an SQL question quickly, you might revert to solving the problem in another layer—even if that layer is less suitable.

That is why Markus put the full contents of his book and many other resources for free on the Internet. So that everybody can access it quickly.
