SQl Tutorial

Habari,

I am new to SQl and I am looking for as an sql tutorial, maybe with a
bias to Postgresql. I have been reading the Postgresql documentation
tutorial I am finding it okay but I would like something with excercises
at the end of a chapter, so that I can at least test myself ;). Does
anyboby know of a link with a good tutorial? Also any good titles would
be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

I like sqlzoo.net.  It is an interactive website that lets you apply
your SQL skills to its turtorial problems.  The only problem with the
site is that its implementation with PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server seem
a bit broken.   However, you can still try your answers on the other
back-ends like MySQL, DB2, Oracle.  I would expect 99% of all of the
SQL used in the turtorial to work with PostgreSQL.
