Re: SQL puzzles ?

Get "Transact SQL Programming" and "SQL in a nutshell", both from O'Reilly,
specially if you intend to work with Sybase or MS SQL Server. They cost around $50 and $30 respectively, but it pays itself. Links:
http://www.edbarlow.com - Plenty of information about Sybase and Database administration. Great site!

http://www.sql-server-performance.com - The name says it all...

http://www.sqlmag.com - SQL Server magazine. Good articles online

http://www.microsoft.com/technet or http://www.microsoft.com/sql

http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1250e - Manuals for Sybase ASE 12

http://www.udlcomputing.com/training/o8sqlworkshop/tuning.html - Performance tunning

http://www.sqlteam.com/ - General info about MS SQL Server

but, If you intend to work with other DBMSs:

http://www.db.cs.ucdavis.edu/ - Great Oracle SQL Tutorial

http://otn.oracle.com/ - Oracle Technet

http://asktom.oracle.com/ - Ask Tom (Oracle Specialist)

http://www.oramag.com - Oracle Magazine (Free subscription)

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/ - Tons of documentation about IBM products, including DB2

http://www.db2mag.com - DB2 Magazine (Free Subscription)

Well, now it's up to you.

Good luck
