[Quoted] _A Visual Introduction to SQL_, Chappel et. al, ISBN 0471412767 is by far the best introductory text I have ever run across (although I do not yet have a copy of the 2nd edition, so I can't be sure about that one). In print for 15 years so others must like it also!
After that I would say read the AskTom web site daily for a few months and get Expert One-on-One: Oracle by Kyte for bedtime reading.
Does anyone like "SQL for Smarties"? The puzzles therein are good, but I am not sold on all their solutions.
