I primarily work with SQL Server, but my favorite book on TSQL is the one that I learned with: The Transact SQL Cookbook.
It’s been many years since I picked it up, but I have a ton of happy memories of staring into this book while riding a train to and from work, getting my head around the examples and figuring out how they worked.
I haven’t picked up the more recent version, The SQL Cookbook, but I’m not surprised that it has pretty fantastic reviews.
Over time, the more I teach, the more I learn about the power of examples when it comes to learning. There’s something pretty magical for “recipe” style learning when it comes to picking up new concepts and new languages.
