To add to suggestions of others, the SQL Antipatterns was also an insigtful read about basic pitfalls of db design.<p>I have also found first chapters from Designing Data Intensive Applications helpful to get context around sql&#x2F;nosql dbs.

I like Practical SQL from No Starch Press: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com&#x2F;practicalSQL" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nostarch.com&#x2F;practicalSQL</a><p>I didn&#x27;t learn from the book myself, but I read it to evaluate it as a teaching tool for juniors and wound up recommending it.

I took Neil Sainsbury’s Mastery with SQL course and would recommend it.
