Great intro to SQL if you're interested. You're not really going to learn this in 24 hours, but take your time and read it cover-to-cover at least three times - once for exposure, then a second time to really learn it, and a third time to pick up anything you didn't quite understand until you actually got some real hands-on experience.

I am in the process of working thru this book and find it clear and easy to follow. The exercises help reinforce the topics and they build upon each other very well. Would recommend.
