hi mark

it's a bit dated, but i liked

    Instant SQL by Joe Celko
    ISBN 1-8774416-50-8

> Alternatively, what about your personal favourite
> SQL-centric sites?

lots of good stuff, no sql tutorials but hundreds of "ask the expert" type
questions and answers (full disclosure: i'm one of the sql experts),
although finding stuff is a *real* pain in the ass the way they have their
cms (vignette, i believe) set up, so for a much more user-friendly list of
my questions and links to the answers, see http://rudy.ca/sqlate.cfm
