For SQL beginners, it's important to focus on general concepts and examples of what various SQL statements can accomplish. This book provides examples of SQL usage that can be understood simply by reading.

Globally available resources have become the status quo. They're accessible, distributed, and resilient. Our traditional SQL database options haven't kept up. Centralized SQL databases, even those with read replicas in the cloud, put all the transactional load on a central system. The further away that a transaction happens from the user, the more the user experience suffers. If the transactional data powering the application is greatly slowed down,...
