OT, but related (AGAIN) I was adding these books to my amazon wishlist (aka Ron's list of books that he would forget about if he didn't put them on the list) and noticed that these titles are all available on the amazon kindle, which is delivered wirelessly via 3G network. I don't have a kindle, but it is interesting to see such technical books available. How many times have you traveled to a customer's site and thought, "Now if I only had my ABC reference?" I wonder if I could get my boss to buy me a kindle.

For a well-written, in-depth book on SQL I highly recommend Rick van der Lans' "Introduction to SQL, 4th Ed." Very comprehensive. For schema and normalization insight, as well as structuring your code to prevent future problems, read Joe Celko's "SQL Programming Style." He has other books, such as "SQL for Smarties, 3rd Ed.", but that may be more advanced than you want right now. Check out his other books and you're sure to find what you need. Rich -- Richard B.
