Excellent Resource for Database Programmers
SQL for Smarties is a book that yoo should own if you work with relational databases. It has good practical advice and good examples. It is useful both for improving your SQL skills and as a reference.

typos typos typos & sloppy explanations
There is a lot here, some of it quite advanced and quite good. But well over half the examples I looked at had errors -- typos often, or repeated chunks of text. This made the examples pretty much worthless.

His prose explanations are often very unclear indeed.

Amazing
This book is one of the first references I have found on SQL that doesn't spend 75% of the book discussing simple Select, Update and Delete statements. This book covers a lot of areas that makes it easy to find what you want in one source. I would be hard pressed to find a better book on this subject.
