Practical Sql Summary

Practical Sql: A Beginner's Guide to Storytelling with Data by Anthony Debarros

Practical SQL is a pragmatic guide to analysing data sets using SQL, the programming language that powers the world's most popular database applications. The book focuses on finding the story that a data set tells and discovering the information in data sets, using the PostgreSQL database as its primary tool. Practical SQL is ideal for those who need a tool to find meaning in data: A marketing department staffer analysing the results of a customer survey; a student analysing a data set as part of a research project; even a journalist building a data set to investigate a government agency.

Practical Sql Reviews

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

Slightly more fun and more engaging [than Learning SQL from O'Reilly].
-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 reading a novel, not a technical book. It uses an easy to follow and understand the 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
