SQL is an ANSI standard language. But the ANSI standard is not one thing
.... it is at least three. And within that standard every vendor has lots
of room to implement that standard by any means they wish. Then they all
add proprietary language extensions to differentiate their product from
the others (more cynical minds would say to lock in their customers).
So make sure the SQL book you get is one that is oriented toward the
RDBMS on which you will be working.
it would probably be Oracle.

Then I'd suggest reposting your question in an Oracle usenet group (such
as comp.databases.oracle.server) so that we don't offend our hosts by
being off-topic. But you can find all of the Oracle SQL you could
possibly hope to find at
http://tahiti.oracle.com.
