Revolutionary war pensions awarded by state governments 1775-1874, the general and federal governments prior to 1814, and by private acts of Congress to 1905 / by Bockstruck, Lloyd DeWitt.(CARDINAL)196754;
"This compilation is an attempt to identify and recreate the Revolutionary War pension files generated prior to the disastrous fire in the War Department on 8 November 1800, which destroyed nearly a quarter-century of records. Despite the best efforts of the War and Treasury Departments to reconstruct the files, a second and even more disastrous fire occurred during the War of 1812 on 24 August 1814 with the British invasion of Washington. The second fire effectively destroyed all the pension files from 1776 to 1814. Despite the tragic loss of nearly four decades of pension records at the national level, it has been possible not only to identify many of those pensioners whose files are commonly believed to have been lost but also to reconstitute in varying degrees their contents. Thus, more than 16,500 pensioners are featured in this work. Among the many sources used to reconstruct these records, two in particular stand out: (1) pension records generated by the governments of each of the original thirteen states (state governments had their own programs and in varying degrees preserved many of their pension files); and (2) acts of Congress that created reports of pensioners receiving pay for service or disability, or widows and orphans receiving benefits, mostly issued as government publications between 1792 and 1840. In addition, the microfilm records of the Continental Congress were searched, as were the standard printed works on the subject such as the Journals of the Continental Congress. Supplementing these traditional sources is the online database Papers of the War Department, 1784-1800, created at George Mason University."--Introduction.

The match [sound recording] a Wilde novel / by Coben, Harlan,1962-author.(CARDINAL)346011; Weber, Steven,1961 March 4-narrator.(CARDINAL)857292;
Performed by Steven Weber.After months away, Wilde has returned to the Ramapo Mountains in the wake of a failed bid at domesticity that confirms what he's known all along: He belongs on his own, free from the comforts and constraints of modern life. Suddenly, a DNA match on an online ancestry database brings Wilde closer to his past than he's ever dreamed, and finally gives Wilde the opening he needs to track down his father. But meeting the man brings up more questions than answers. So Wilde reaches out to his last, most desperate lead, a second cousin who disappears as quickly as he resurfaces, having experienced an epic fall from grace that can only be described as a waking nightmare. Was his cousin's downfall a long time coming? Or was he the victim of a conspiracy as cunning as it is complex? And how does it all connect to the man once known as The Stranger, a treacherous fugitive with a growing following whose mission and methods have only turned more dangerous with time?

The language of SQL / by Rockoff, Larry.(CARDINAL)599866;
Relational Databases and SQL -- Basic Data Retrieval -- Calculated Fields and Aliases -- Using Functions -- Sorting Data -- Selection Criteria -- Boolean Logic -- Inner Joins -- Outer Joins -- Self Joins and Views -- Subqueries -- Set Logic -- Stored Procedures and Parameters -- Modifying Data -- Maintaining Tables -- Conditional Logic -- Summarizing Data -- Subtotals and Crosstabs -- Principles of Database Design -- Strategies for Displaying DataMany SQL texts attempt to serve as an encyclopedic reference on SQL syntax -- an approach that is often counterproductive, because that information is readily available in online references published by the major database vendors. For SQL beginners, it&#x;s more important for a book to focus on general concepts and to offer clear explanations and examples of what various SQL statements can accomplish. This is that book. A number of features make The Language of SQL unique among introductory SQL books. First, you will not be required to download software or sit with a computer as you read the text. The intent of this book is to provide examples of SQL usage that can be understood simply by reading. Second, topics are organized in an intuitive and logical sequence. SQL keywords are introduced one at a time, allowing you to grow your understanding as you encounter new terms and concepts. Finally, this book covers the syntax of three widely used databases: Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle. Special "Database Differences" sidebars clearly show you any differences in syntax among these three databases, and instructions are included on how to obtain and install free versions of the databases. This is the only book you need to gain a quick working knowledge of SQL and relational databases. Learn How to use SQL to retrieve data from relational databases, apply functions and calculations to data, group and summarize data in a variety of useful ways, use complex logic to retrieve only the data you need, update data and create new tables, design relational databases so that data retrieval is easy and intuitive, use spreadsheets to transform your data into meaningful displays, retrieve data from multiple tables via joins, subqueries, views, and set logic, create, modify, and execute stored procedures, install Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, or Oracle. -- Provided by publisher.
