For theory, I'd recommend a book called Microsoft SQL Server 7
Administrator's Guide published my Prima Tech. It's a big book. It should be
at your local bookstore and is packed with all kinds of theory about
relational databases.
The theories do apply to any SQL server.
You will definitely understand about relational databases when you're done
reading the first few chapters. It was over my head, though.
I made a mistake getting that book because it is so complicated with it's
theoretical stuff. I use MySQL to get away from that crap and get things
done rather than sit around and think about it all day.
My MySQL book is only 1" thick and it written in English instead of
ThesusBabble....
