I am totally new to learning SQL and has searched for a long time for a book that I can read. Finally I found a good book from O'reilly for the beginner. It is Head First SQL. I believe anyone who is new in programing and would like to learn SQL, then you should or must read this book. I have learned a ton from it. Well my question is....What is the next book should I read after the Head First SQL? I really want to learn how to create and manage database...in either mySQL or in Oracle program...Many people told me to learn Oracle to be useful...Please give suggestion...thanks

I would imagine that once you have learned the basics of SQL and have some sort of table of information, facts, parts, etc, you'd next want to display them in a dynamic website. I would suggest:

Head First PHP & MySQL

This book will help you continue your journey into using queries to retrieve and store data, plus it will show you how to use PHP to display your results in HTML or grab data from a web form and store it into your database.
