Hi Gurus !!!

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I can recommend you the following book:
SQL-99 Complete, Really, w. CD-ROM
from Peter Gulutzan, Trudy Pelzer

(please refer to http://www.amazon.com)

For a more database specific documentation please read the manufacturer manuals.

Regards, Matthias

There are books on the basics and standards. However keep in mind not all the standards are implemented on ever different type of database. I would check out the "SQL for dummies" book but before you go further what type of database are you going to be working with to begine with. Whichever type I suggest you get books specific to that database system and focus of it''s syntax as many have there own extensions and may not support a few standards items.

Thanks for replies, but I'd like books/documentation exactly about database programming i.e. how to design/develop database applications, but not only the specifications of SQL or Oracle ...

you can find some "basics" on the web, e.g.
