Can anyone recommend a good book for someone who is pretty strong in old 
school SQL but not the newer SQL 92 standard? TIA

By "old school" you must mean SQL89 or even ante-standard SQL?  That's
properly old alright.

If it's SQL92 plus many later features you are interested in, I'd
suggest any of Rick van der Lans' SQL books. (Full disclosure, I was a
technical reviewer for one of them.)

His Introduction to SQL is now in its fourth edition:

Thanks Roy. It looks like a good 1 - though he seems to have written a sql 
book for every major DB implementation.
