I am a middling SQL guy; I have used functions, triggers, outer joins,
etc, but not often. But I've been doing that for years :-) my
personal favorite is SQL Visual Quickstart Guide, Chris Fehily,
Peachpit Press, 2002, ISBN 0-201-11803-0. It has lots of examples, it
remains steadily boring and consistent throughout, it goes from really
basic stuff to pretty fancy stuff, and most precious of all, it covers
five databases and tells you exactly how every single example differs
from db to db --
MS Access
MS SQL Server
MySQL
Oracle
PostgreSQL
If I only had one SQL book, this would be it.
