Hi,
I invite you all to visit my website that has a publication about the weaknesses SQL has on Database Processing. All the examples had been tested in DB2, but the situation is practically the same and in some cases still worse in other SQL DBMS. This publication explains aspects related to:

• Equivalent queries may produce different results.
• Aggregation operators like SUM, AVG, etc. doesn’t generate the correct calculation in certain cases.
• Query tables that have nulls may lead us to misinterpret results in a variety of cases.

It’s essential for us to be conscious about the weaknesses this language has in order to avoid them. I hope it’s useful:

Thanks for reading,

Yes,I think it's great for us to have an original editions when we
are reading the translated ones.For one thing,it can tell us how the concept is called in English,which will help us greatly when we meet them again and for the other thing,we can get clearly what the author wanna say,and maybe there are some misunderstandings,so I think ,this is really good when I get an original book written in English!
