SQL Book Recommendations

These books are recommended to improve your SQL knowledge, for reference, or for learning material.

SQL: The Complete Reference This book is dated (1999) but it provides an adequate basis of SQL. For more advanced treatment, a reader will have to read about ORACLE8i, SQL*PLUS, PL/SQL, DB2 UDB. DB2 UDB is a client/server database system, and offers competition to the huge market share that ORACLE has taken.

However, it you want a good basis, and a grounding in SQL, this book will provide this.
