As a professional SQL Developer I found this book really detailed and technical, packed with useful information on how to write and optimize advanced queries. The more technical parts about db infrastructure and indexing was a real sleeping pill, but Im glad I read it since the rest of the book references back to this info. Highly recommended book if you're intermediate to advanced SQL developer, but not for beginners.
