SQL Training

We don't have a DBA team so we have to manage our own SQL servers but thankfully I'm going on a SQL installation, maintenance and management course in January.

What I would like to know is can anyone recommend a book or further course I could do to learn about writing queries?

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jon---

I know that Andy McBride recommends Sams Teach Yourself SQL in Ten Minutes a Day. Says it offers alot. Here's the link:

The "Ten Minutes" in the title is not a good choice. There is a lot of content and good answers. I don't know why the author felt it necessary to go the "5 minute abs" path. The book is much deeper than the title suggests.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, I'll definately get the book as recommended.
