I don't have particular book recommendations, but if you are talking about
Access' SQL (actually Jet database engine SQL), be sure any book you get
deals with that, specifically. Every database that I know about has some of
its own "flavor" to SQL, but Access' is farther removed from the ANSI SQL
Standard than some others.

If you are starting to learn SQL, you will probably need to study "database
design" as well.
Start with this: it is fairly dry reading, but >>mucho importanto<< :-) http://support.microsoft.com/support...es/Q100139.ASP

SQL Queries for Mere Mortals - Hernandez & Viescas.
From the cover: Software Independent Approach!
The example databases are .mdb files.
There are also scripts to create and populate the tables on SQL Server
or MSDE.

Borrow a copy of the Oreilly book for MSQL/MySQL ( -> Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...rosmifansdo-20 <-)
This book is a must read for database programmers. While it is geared
towards MSQL and MySQL obviously, chapter two which discusses
normalization is a mandatory read for anyone who comes to my programming
shop. Very good book. Should be on the shelf of everyone.
