A good reference manual for SQL of all levels
I need to get to grips with SQL in a very short timescale. I bvought this book on recommendation from some people I know who understand structured query language, SQL. This book is well written and provides examples for both beginners and intermediate programmers.

It's probably not suitable if you want to optimise a high end transactional database, but all together it will give you an excellent start on the road to programming in SQL.

top of the list
The best and most comprehensive book for anyone wanting to learn SQl. Suitable for beginners and advanced developers.
