Found something missing, what is missing that I don't know about?

I'm studying SQL intensively for work and needed an up-to-date reference, so bought this book, relying on the O'Reilly reputation for good books.

As soon as I got it I looked up something I had just used at work for the first time: The WITH clause. (Or statement, I don't know.)

It wasn't in the alphabetical list of "commands", and didn't show up in the index. The word "WITH" does show up in the lists of reserved words in the Appendix.

Is it just my bad luck that the very first thing I looked up - no kidding! the first thing! - was missing from this book? This book is large enough to be encyclopedic, and is organized like an encyclopedia, yet - if this thing that I know about is missing, what is missing that I don't know about but would have wanted to learn from this book?
