"SQL in a Nutshell", an O'Reilly Press book is an excellent addition as well. It lists the various command syntaxes for Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and a couple of other flavors. A very good syntax reference.

server dependant.
as no server is more than 90% of sql compliant.
they all have some features not supported.
not always the same features either.
