Max, I see that you have received one SAS SQL book recommendation already. I hope that it works for you! When you are ready to step it up a notch, consider the following book by tireless SAS instructor, lecturer, and writer Kirk Paul Lafler:
PROC SQL: Beyond the Basics Using SAS
https://support.sas.com/pubscat/bookdetails.jsp?pc=58316
This is the seminal book on SAS SQL and remains my own personal favorite! Check it out.
Max, best of luck in all your SAS endeavors!
I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
