Are your tables all tangled up? Well we've got the tools to teach you just how to wrangle your databases into submission. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory SQL learning experience, Head First SQL has a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Maybe you've written some simple SQL queries to interact with databases. But now you want more, you want to really dig into those databases and work with your data. Head First SQL will show you the fundamentals of SQL and how to really take advantage of it. We'll take you on a journey through the language, from basic INSERT statements and SELECT queries to hardcore database manipulation with indices, joins, and transactions. We all know "Data is Power" - but we'll show you how to have "Power over your Data". Expect to have fun, expect to learn, and expect to be querying, normalizing, and joining your data like a pro by the time you're finished reading! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 20.32 x 3.12 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | Isbn 10 | 0596526849 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0596526849 | | Item Weight | 1.22 kg | | Language | English | | Part Of Series | Head First | | Print Length | 607 pages | | Publication Date | 14 Sept. 2007 | | Publisher | O′Reilly | ## Images ![Head First SQL (A Brain Friendly Guide) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sSFiBHNoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FROM FINANCE TO SQL - Fantastic *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 September 2015* I came from a finance/Accounting background and found myself working as a Data Analyst. So, I had an urgent need to learn all about relational databases and manipulation of data using SQL. I initially attended a two day course on SQL and came back with an information overload and some nice looking PowerPoint sheets....learned nothing.I discovered this book on Amazon and I also bought a kindle version, Which is fantastic, as it suits my extremely busy days. I have it on my tablet and iPhone and I am able to read/learn every chance I get ...on the trains and even at lunch time at work.I am finding this book so easy to read and I just keep learning ... The animations are so good as it helps me remember the main point. I particularly love the "there are no dumb questions" bits, because it always nearly gets my thoughts exactly and clarifies issues the learner may be quizzed about!The bit about NULLs is so good that I have never understood why a null is not just a blank or a space...until now.its solo funny bcos the NULL says "I have got values to be". How can u ever forget what youbhave learned when it is taught to you in Jokes???.I am only on chapter 5 out of 12... but I am already writing T-SQL queries on Microsoft SQL server,even though the language of the book is MySQL ( ...yes it is that good, that I am able to adapt whet I have learned to another RDBMS...)Yes people have said it is good for beginners... But yes even as a pro... It will be a good refresher/ reference book!!! I am definitely going to keep mine!Thank you Lynn... Great job!!!👍👍👍PS:: Do u know any VBA? I could do with a headfirst book on VBA too... all the ones I have seen so far are too tetchy and boring😁😁😁 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am an SQL Ninja thanks to this book! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 February 2009* Ok, maybe the title of my comment is not exactly 100% true :) - But boy I feel like I will be just after reading this book for the past 2 weeks. I LOVE the style of Head First books and the way it makes me feel I am being taught by a cool and funny teacher that "holds my hand" learning this book and doesn't just let me get on with it and fend for myself.This book has me laughing as well as learning and it is such a breath of fresh air to study a book about programming that has some humor in it and is not boring like so many others out there.Do yourself a favor and buy this book... Now!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 May 2013* Not bad, however when I was using MS SQL with this book, there was a point that commands were just not working anymore. So I wasn't able to fully complete the tasks.However if you are using MYSQL this is perfect as this is the software it has been written using. ## Frequently Bought Together - Head First SQL: Your Brain on SQL -- A Learner's Guide - Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming - Head First Python: A Learner's Guide to the Fundamentals of Python Programming, A Brain-Friendly Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://capeverde.desertcart.com/products/52802860-head-first-sql-a-brain-friendly-guide](https://capeverde.desertcart.com/products/52802860-head-first-sql-a-brain-friendly-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cape Verde* *Store origin: CV* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
