Incredibly concise and practical. I've been using SQL for years but still learned several optimization techniques I wasn't aware of. Sarah explains complex concepts very clearly, and the examples are relevant to real-world scenarios.

Great introduction to advanced SQL topics. The window functions section was particularly helpful for my data analysis work. Would have liked more examples for some of the more complex optimization techniques.

The perfect format for busy professionals. I was able to implement the indexing strategies immediately in our production database and saw a significant performance improvement. Would definitely recommend to any developer working with databases.
