I learned SQL from Sam's "Teach Yourself SQL in 21 Days", and am happy to recommend it. Which book is "best" is very subjective and situation dependent; all I can say is that this one did the job for me. Pros: clearly written; knowledgable authors; good coverage Cons: all due to space limitations. Many advanced features are touched on, without any really useful explanation of how to use them or even why they exist. Can be a good starting point though (The pl/pgsql docs made no sense at all to me, until I had read the Oracle pl/sql coverage in this book). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Berkus" <josh@agliodbs.com> To: "Ross J.
