Re: Looking for good reference materials for SQL programming.

Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties is pretty good.  It's got a lot of the basic
stuff, but it gets really complicated as well (simulating trees and
directed graphs, etc... -- which makes org charts easy in SQL).

I think he has some other books as well.  I'm sure there are many
others as well...
