Keep on listening to the statements made here, especially the ones you don't understand. And try to answer them (not necessarily posting the answer to the list) and it will help you understand the queries.

need a better book
Hello, I have a few SQL books, but they only have simple SQL queries in them. I signed up with the list a few days ago and I have seen select statements that do amazing things. I went to the book store and they don't have any books with these types of select statements in them. Please let me know the name of a book(s) that teaches how these complex select statements work.

How about the MySQL reference manual??? Honestly, the variety of complex statements makes it near impossible to have a how-to book in the subject. My approach is two-fold; 1. Understand the reference manual of how the SQL statements can build up. 2. Look at real code, either handcoded, or better yet, query building tools.
