Ask HN: Best book to learn about SQL and databases?
- FroshKiller 6y agoI like Practical SQL from No Starch Press: https://nostarch.com/practicalSQL https://nostarch.com/practicalSQL I didn't learn from the book myself, but I read it to evaluate it as a teaching tool for juniors and wound up recommending it.
- holden_nelson 6y agoI took Neil Sainsbury’s Mastery with SQL course and would recommend it.
- jugjug 6y agoTo add to suggestions of others, the SQL Antipatterns was also an insigtful read about basic pitfalls of db design. I have also found first chapters from Designing Data Intensive Applications helpful to get context around sql/nosql dbs.
