    I am planning on learning about SQL. However, there seems to be no good quality tutorials that I can find on the internet. Are there any recommended books for SQL beginners? Thanks

      SQL for smarties by Joe Celko. It's deceptively simple but lasts a long way.

      People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

        If you are using SQL Server 2008 or later, I suggest you try T-SQL Fundamentals for Microsoft SQL Server by Itzik Ben-Gan.

          I also read articles from http://www.sqlservercentral.com/[^] and they have a good Question of the Day feature that gets emailed to you daily so that you can test your knowledge etc.

            You need to decide what start with. Do you want a general overview? To learn to code (T-SQL)? To learn how to be a DBA? Do you want a certificate? I would go to a bookstore with a good computer section and look at the SQL books. As an example, have a question in mind, say for T-SQL, lookup data types. If you can understand what they say, that book would be high on the possible list.
