Can anyone recommend a good one?
Thanks
Jodi

Hi Jodi,
I use SQL In A Nutshell as I have to switch gears between Oracle, Postgres
and MySQL. Also I have limited time for reading and am a very cheap guy.
It goes for $30 US.
RE: perl. Paul DuBois has a great book called MySQL and Perl for the Web.
Just modify the queries for Pg and you have a terrific example of how to
code via DBI. Besides which it goes for $20 US on Amazon (orig $45 US).
If you like I can mail you the tarball of Paul's src. I have it here
at work.
Paul also has a downloadable archive of all the scripts in the book.
Lastly, he is a member of the Perl DBI mailing list which is a valuable
resource as Tim Bunce reads all the mail that goes by and occasionally
jumps in. (He wrote both DBI and DBD-Oracle).
Cheers

FYI, as I mention in my review, I found that SQL in a Nutshell omits several
important SQL commands. But it does give you a good general syntax
comparison.
Jodi, SQL in a Nutshell is a reference for people who already know SQL ... not
a primer.
