Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties: Advanced SQL Programming Second Edition by Joe Celko (Independent Consultant, Austin, Texas)

SQL for Smarties was hailed as the first book devoted explicitly to the advanced techniques you need to transform yourself into an expert SQL programmer. Now, in this fully updated second edition, SQL mastermind Joe Celko keeps you moving forward, using his entertaining, conversational style to teach you the best solutions to old and new challenges and to convey the way you need to think if you really want to get the most out of your SQL programming efforts.

If you're serious about SQL, you won't let SQL for Smarties out of your sight.
