Learning more about SQL 92

You can always get hold of a copy of the standard itself from either ANSI or ISO, but the standard is not really aimed at users. A better way to get acquainted with SQL 92 is to buy "A Guide to SQL Standard (4th Edition)" by C. J. Date and Hugh Darwen. This book explains all concepts and constructs of SQL 92, sometimes with quite an academic viewpoint, but nonetheless very complete and absolutely readable and understandable.

The book is published by Addison-Wesley and has ISBN #: 0-201-96426-0. An easy way to order this book is to go to www.amazon.com, but your local bookstore will most likely be able to help you as well.
