In 2021 I started sharing database tips and tricks for developers that gained more and more
interest every time I shared something. As of now, thousands of developers are following me
to read my weekly database advice. This book was written to collect the best ones and make
them easier to look up for future reference. As time passes, I hope to have all these and
much more available in more detailed versions on SQLforDevs.com. Don't forget to
subscribe to the newsletter to be notified about new content.

This book is designed as a cookbook with many small independent recipes. You can skip
chapters or tips as you want to. In contrast to a whole book, the descriptions are all kept
short by design. You should be able to read it thoroughly in a single evening and start using
its ideas the next day.

I hope you learn a lot while reading it and level up your knowledge as planned. I really
appreciate hearing any feedback from you.

Have fun reading it.
