You will see how in each chapter there are examples and exercises that will help you understand each of the orders or commands that SQL has. The goal is that in a very short time you can become proficient with SQL. Depending on the database manufacturer we will have some differences when using the SQL language. In this book we try to use a standard that adapts to most cases. The world of databases is fascinating and offers many benefits to both developers and anyone involved in creating applications.
