This is my favorite introduction to SQL - it gives a clear explanation of how to set up a database without being overly dogmatic. It explains the core concepts of relational databases and what SQL is doing, in addition to going into the specifics of SQL syntax.
As I write this review, the book is nearly 20 years old, so obviously any details about specific databases should at this point be completely ignored. However, it's still in print and also available used for next to nothing!
