Relational databases - learning SQL

Hello all,

When I taught a Database Management Systems course at Rochester Institute of
Technology, I used an excellent text titled "The Practical SQL Handbook" by
Bowman, Emerson, and Darnovsky.  It also has some very good introductory
material on database design etc., as well as a CD containing Sybase's SQL
Anywhere for use with the examples.

A caveat for Access (Jet) users - Jet SQL doesn't support the exact syntax
of some of the examples.  I put together a tip sheet for my students
indicating the issues.  I also put together an Access version of the sample
database.  I'd be happy to share either of these upon request.
