I am new to SQL and I was wondering if anybody has any recommendations on
books to learn how to write SQL queries.

Any suggestions on where I can start this learning process?

Thanks,
Jasper

I liked learn transact-sql in 21
days(http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-Microsoft-Server-Book/dp/0672324695/sr=8-1/qid=1160499645/ref=sr_1_1/104-2643616-1539965?ie=UTF8&s=books).
This is ideal to get up and running. For the more advanced user have a look
at Tom Moreau and Itzik Ben Gan's Advanced tsql book
(http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Transact-SQL-SQL-Server-2000/dp/1893115828/sr=1-1/qid=1160499677/ref=sr_1_1/104-2643616-1539965?ie=UTF8&s=books)

For SQL 2005 Itzik's books are phenomenal.
