>> Is Joe Celko's book geared towards Business Intelligence and Data
Warehousing queries? <<

No. They are aimed at application databsde queries.

But I have been asked to write a "Data Warehouse SQL for Smarties" as a companion for "SQL for Smarties". SQL was meant to be a data retrieval language and not a data analysis language; I'd recommend getting a good statistics package that can work with a Star or Snowflake Schema.
