Although a little dated in places, and clearly favoring MySQL, it covers the essentials for working with SQL. By building a database that is used throughout the book, it becomes easier to grasp the concepts by working with the same data throughout instead of wasting time trying to comprehend the schema before looking at the problem itself. Unless your business does a lot of data processing, the concepts learned here may be sufficient for doing real-world work.
