Just be warned, Mr. Celko thinks that those who aren't as skilled in SQL as he 
is are bloody idiots with no right to live, and those who are skilled like he 
is are just a bunch of a**holes who have no clue. Just alone based on his 
disrespect towards everyone else who stops short of calling him 'god' I can't 
really recommend his books. I got Celko's "SQL Programming Style", which was 
the worst buy ever. It is page after page a constant dissing and ranting about 
'others' who based on his account are so stupid that they should be shot. That 
guy is for sure a genius, because he is quite a few cards short of a full 
deck. Oh, needless to say, I find that book totally useless.

I got warned, but didn't listen....
