The Quotes

A foreign key field is a field within a table that is acting as a primary key in another table in the database.

These relationships are commonly visualized using a database schema, also known as an entity relationship diagram (ERD), which serves as a kind of blueprint for the database.

The Reviews

Very easy to understand and learn the basics.However, there were a few typos that caused confusion.Update 3/3/2020Company got in contact and corrected the errors that I found.

Good examples and useful for coding beginners or experienced people who are wanting to learn SQL. 80% of the book is on querying approaches, and the last sections are on views and database record updating. If you type and work all examples and do all challenges, maybe 15-25 hours of work depending on your skill...but a very productive 15-25 hours.

I got the printed version. The e-version is probably just as good. This book enabled me to learn to do basic SQL queries. I'm not a techy person by any means, and I took several online tutorials, but found them confusing. I was unable to do the "homework" except for the most simple problems.After using the book, I was able to query what I needed from my databases at work. I even surpassed the queries that others had done before me by cleaning them up.The reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that some of the lessons didn't work in my DB. Some of the functions are different in different versions of SQL.I'd highly recommend this if you're a beginner with queries. Downloading the practice DB is easy. It was also helpful for me to learn a bit of DB background and syntax that the other online lessons didn't address.

Fits great, washes up nicely, no cracking of the decals so far!

Awesome shirt

itā€™s fits and i love it sm

I love it

They are saying those bags actually degrade in any condition... no way to prove it because I do not have it this long, and their web page is having lots of claims without any scientific background including that they are injecting their specific material that makes "standard" plastic degrade? I would really like to see scientific study to either confirm or deny this - or if it just "shreds" it in microplastic. I do not know what to think about enviromental claims currently, but I am giving them the benefit of doubt currently.The bag itself seems relatively thin, but it is stable. It survives without a problem a week long use and abuse including fluids. It comes with zipties, that I do not use. I just tie the knot on the bag when disposing.What I received is a single pack. I contacted Amazon service and they said they can not send me the second pack separately. After long discussion they decided to send me another "2-pack"... which when it arrived was again a single pack confirming that the description is wrong. Btw. there is a 6-pack for sale already that is about 5x price of the advertised double pack (which is really a single pack). Suggest that the vendor adjusts the description or changes what they ship.Downgrading to 1 - star... Amazon actually charged me for the second shipment (although I told them it was again a single pack!) because I did not send back something I never got (the first 2-pack)... so I paid double price from what they promised here. Terrible service and wrong advertisement.

Love these bags!! Hope they are truly bioethical. 1 huge and easy way to help the environment is to use biodegradable trash bags! The fit a 13 gallon trash bag perfectly, holds up as well as regular trash bags, use common sense here, they are not the horrific for the environment force flex hefty. No toxic smell.you have to tie them, but no big deal considering how you may be helping the planet! Be the change you want to see.

I haven't had any issues with these so far, but a little extra height would be nice so that the bag could be tied at the top once the garbage can was full. I haven't had any tears or holes, but they do feel thin and it wouldn't take much to rip them.Overall they are good bags and I would definitely keep using them since they are biodegradable, but I am going to try out a different biodegradable brand which is larger with a thicker material.

I am impressed with this garbage bag. We wanted to be more eco-friendly but I was worried the bag wouldnā€™t hold up. It totally does the job! We have had one leak but thatā€™s because we sometimes put coffee grounds in it. Am buying these again.

These are definitely NOT for a 13-gallon trash can. They are very short, so I have to tape them on all four sides to keep them from falling into the can. I would suggest buying another product if you have a standard 13-gallon kitchen can. I gave them four stars simply because they are strong and well-made.

I have used these for a number of years now & they work great - no ripping, no leaking.However, the vendorā€™s heading for this product states, ā€œEcosmartbags 13-Gallons 24 Ct Eco-Friendly Commercial Grade Trash Bags 2-Packā€ & in the Description states, ā€œ... - bundled 2-Packā€.I ordered 3 & per the description expected a total of 6 boxes & just like other reviewers have stated, only received 3 boxes.

Unlike some other brands I've bought where they start disintegrating inside the garbage pail, THESE ARE STURDY. They are a little short for the standard pail, but I don't mind. I do hope they really are biodegradable because they perform just like regular garbage bags.

Good quality and cheaper by the bag than any competitors. This was the only one I could find that doesnā€™t need a special recycling facility to break down the bag. Itā€™s eco good for landfills! I did the research to make sure.
