Beginning Oracle SQL
Dear Reader,
The letters S, Q, and L are possibly the three most important letters in the world
of relational databases. Together, they spell “SQL” – the name of the query lan-
guage governing just about all interaction with a database, and especially with
an Oracle database. We can’t begin to overstate the importance of SQL to our
respective careers. We use SQL every day in our work. We think in SQL. We prob-
ably even dream in it. We could not succeed in our jobs without knowing it.
SQL seems like such a simple language to learn. It takes only a few sec-
onds to learn to type the words “SELECT * FROM” followed by a table name
in order to retrieve data from a database. But that power and expressiveness
can be deceiving. It is surprisingly easy to make mistakes in SQL. And when
you make a mistake while still getting plausible results, how do you know that
you’ve missed the mark? The answer is in this book. We cover the language. We
also lay the correct foundation for using the language, helping you to avoid
pitfalls from nulls in your data, helping you to understand that NOT IN and
NOT EXISTS do not really ask the same question, helping you to understand
the underlying operations so that you can be known among your colleagues as
one who does good work that produces correct results.
We believe the book you are holding in your hands is one of the best ever
on the topic. It was originally written by our good friend, Lex de Haan. Lex was
involved in creating the ISO SQL standard, and was a member of the OakTable
Network. Sadly, Lex passed away some years ago. We are pleased and honored
to revise his work to cover Oracle Database 11g.
