1. Learn SQL:
<http://www.amazon.com/Practical-SQL-Handbook-Using-Variants/dp/ 
0201703092/ref=pd_sim_b_1/104-3307393-5274327>
2. Learn DB thinking:
<http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Queries-Mere-Mortals-Hands/dp/0201433362/ 
ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b/104-3307393-5274327>
<http://www.amazon.com/Database-Design-Mere-Mortals-Hands/dp/ 
0201752840/ref=pd_sim_b_1/104-3307393-5274327>

Those three books should cover all of the *major* SQL amd RDBMS  
basics. Once you know core SQL, MySQL is a breeze, and you can use  
their online docs for their particular weirdness at no cost:
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/>
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/>
