Any suggestions on where to learn SQL?

[WoundedWallet]

I live by an Oracle building that I'm sure offer some classes, but they are quite expensive.

I could also study the Microsoft certication and get a MCP, but they don't have much prestige.

What other courses or certifications are there?

Should I learn it on my own instead?

All suggestions are welcome, I need a change.

Probably one of the best SQL books I have read to learn the basics is SQL for Dummies. Now, normally, I don't even like the "for Dummies" books, but this one gets used quite frequently in my office by everyone. As for learning the other stuff like how to change the database size, how to add new tables, etc., each DB program (Oracle, MS SQL Server, Informix, etc) has a slightly different way of doing it. Only way to learn that stuff is to use the programs. SQL as a language is extremely easy and straight forward.
