Practical Sql, 2nd Edition Reviews

Even better than the previous edition!
-Jakub Romanowski, LearnSQL.com

This book is comprehensive, well organized, and contains almost everything a new developer needs to learn SQL using Postgres. Besides, the arrangement of the sections is logical, and the writing style is not complicated where information is supported by the required examples and images, in addition to evidence from the writer's practical experiences.
-Hadi Fadlallah, SQLShack

[W]ell-written and informative . . . an extremely enjoyable book that will keep the reader engaged with interesting, thought-provoking exercises . . . I highly recommend Practical SQL, 2nd Edition to anyone wanting to learn PostgreSQL and how to tell stories with data.

REVIEWS FOR THE FIRST EDITION:

This book is comprehensive, well organized, and contains almost everything a new developer needs to learn SQL using Postgres. Besides, the arrangement of the sections is logical, and the writing style is not complicated where information is supported by the required examples and images, in addition to evidence from the writer's practical experiences.
-Hadi Fadlallah, SQLShack

One of the best-organized travelogues we've seen into the SQL realm.
-Newstips Bulletin

More fun and more engaging [than Learning SQL from O'Reilly].
-Giles McMullen-Klein, Python Programmer, YouTuber

Practical SQL will take you from an absolute databases beginner towards becoming a database and SQL master. This book is one of those books that you feel like [you're] reading a novel, not a technical book. It uses an easy to follow and [understandable] approach that makes it easy to read for people from all backgrounds.
-Sara A. Metwalli, Towards Data Science

I recommend reading Practical SQL by Anthony DeBarros for a more in-depth look on how to implement regression analysis and other analytical tools using SQL.
-Michael Grogan, Towards Data Science

One of the most interesting books about SQL I've ever read. At first glance, it looks like a guide for complete rookies. But the author raises topics that will interest advanced users.
