Errata

Currently the text is:

English: "Hey app. When is my husband's birthday?"
SQL: SELECT * FROM birthdays
WHERE person = 'husband';

The problem is that the SQL code should all be on one line OR the SELECT / FROM / WHERE terms should be at the start of each line. I recommend the following (to match the formatting at the top of page 4):

English
"Hey app. When is my husband's birthday?"
SQL
SELECT * FROM birthdays WHERE person = 'husband';

English and SQL should be italicized, and the SELECT statement should be in the code font.

The notes at the top of pages 40 and 41 have different capitalization. They should match.

Should I follow the standards?
Which Standard Should I Choose?

The formatting of the Show... section should match the formatting of the Filter... section. Specifically, the (or... Server) section should be moved down a line and indented like the Better yet... section above.

Filter by a column within the WHERE clause
Better yet, filter by a column that is already indexed to make the retrieval even faster.

Show the top few rows of data with the LIMIT clause
(or WHERE ROWNUM <= 10 in Oracle or SELECT TOP 10 * in SQL Server)

During production, I requested that the indentation be removed from any column with bolded code. I see that this was applied in some of the tables in the book, but there are a few that were missed:

Table 5-8 on page 109
Table 8-1 on page 237
Table 9-1 on page 269
Table 9-2 on page 272 (there is no bolding, but the indentation issue is still there)
Table 10-1 on page 311

The third column of the table is squished and the code inside wraps around. This is likely due to me requesting that NATURAL stay one word within the first column. It is more important for the code in the third column not to wrap around, so please remove the NATURAL constraint and widen the third column.
