Recommended SQL books?

Hello, I've been using mySQL etc. with various stuff I doing, but my
SQL theory is still
a bit rubbish. What books do you recommend for getting into SQL? I'd
prefer a book that did the whole hog, normalisation, design etc. Any
suggestions?


Cheers,

Gordy.

Normalisation and SQL are two very different things.
It is possible to have both normalised and non-normalised data using ISAM
and VSAM which do not (directly) even support SQL.

SQL is a language, Normalisation is about design.
