Re: looking for good sql manual
How about the original Informix Manuals? They are very good (award winning in fact), unlike most DBMS manuals. You can access them online or download them from the IBM/Informix web site: www-3.ibm.com/software/data/informix/pubs/library/ Select your server version from the Servers section (and the minor version from the page that comes up) and you will see the three basic manuals amoung the listing there: Guide to SQL Tutorial Guide to SQL Reference Guide to SQL Syntax Art S.
