I have beginner knowledge of SQL (I use MS SQL Server). I recently finished
"SQL for dummies" book and now need something more advanced with a lot of
exercises writing queries.
Can anyone recommend such a book?
When I first started learning SQL, there were two books that I thought
were excellent:
John Patrick's SQL Fundamentals, a workbook with lots of hands-on
exercises. Material was good, but his editor for the first edition
should have been replaced; there were mistakes everywhere, including
an editor's note embedded in the actual text (I believe the second
edition corrected these problems).

Ben Forta's 10 Minute Guide to SQL is also an excellent guide for
beginners; he really focuses on the language and concepts without
getting too involved in database maintenance issues.
