Customer Review: Very clear and concise coverage of many essential database issues. I really appreciate the brevity and lack of unnecessary jargon and formalism. However it's definitely worth pointing out that the examples come from Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access and to a lesser degree Oracle.

Customer Review: Most of my friends and colleagues had to laugh when I told about or showed them this manga guide. Though this book is really fun to read and contains many subtle jokes, it's not something to dismiss as some crazy comic book.
