Practical SQL: A Beginner's Guide to Storytelling with Data by Anthony DeBarros is a hands-on technical guide to using Structured Query Language for data analysis. Rather than treating SQL chiefly as a tool for database administration, it presents querying as a method for investigating evidence, detecting patterns, and communicating findings. The book uses PostgreSQL and the pgAdmin interface for its examples, while explaining concepts that transfer broadly to other relational database systems. Its progression moves from database structure and basic queries toward data cleaning, aggregation, statistical functions, geographic analysis, and more complex query construction. Real public datasets, including demographic, taxi-trip, and earthquake data, give the exercises an analytical purpose beyond syntax practice. DeBarros writes from a journalism and data-analysis perspective, which shapes the central aim: a query is valuable not merely when it runs, but when it helps answer a meaningful question about the world. The result is an introductory programming book with a practical emphasis on reproducible exploration and evidence-based reporting.
