Here is the reading path leading up to this book, derived from its dependencies and ordered from the fundamentals.
The path so far (1 books)
Why read this first: SQL Queries for Mere Mortals begins by checking that the database structure is sound, in its second chapter, before any query is written. Having worked through tables, keys and relationships as a design process first, you can read the join and subquery chapters knowing why the tables connect the way they do. Both books belong to the For Mere Mortals series and neither depends on a particular database product.
