Best way to learn SQL?

[VickreyAuction]

I need to learn SQL. Anyone who has done so, are there any books or website that are particularly good at teaching it? Any that I should avoid?

It's so easy that it doesn't matter where you learn it.
Select ____ where ____ and off you go.

That'll teach you most of what you need to know. Anything else can be googled.

Don't waste your money on books.

A semi-intelligent person can pick up the basics pretty quick. A week to learn, a lifetime to master (sounds oddly familiar).

Posting in the Computer Technical Help forum can help when you have specific problems.
