Which SQL textbook to read?
Hello. Interested in the question, what is the best book to read on SQL?
I have basic concepts about queries (SQL, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE), but no theoretical or more detailed knowledge.
It would be desirable to esteem the book which left rather recently... It is possible in MySQL dialect.
Thanks in advance.

For theoretical knowledge - relatively recently, nothing fundamentally changed in relational databases, like a decade ago. And two decades, maybe even three. The fundamental theory of RDBMS and transactional systems - yes, from the last millennium. It is pointless to pursue novelty in theory.
Another thing is if you want the features of a particular DBMS. Each has a bunch of its own features, there are violations of the standards and something changes with each release. The best friend is the manual from cover to cover, the books come out a bit late. There are many useful things to read.
What book, website or video course can you offer a beginner to learn SQL?
