Re: SQLIte, OReilly is coming out with a new book, Using SQLite, in August. It's not clear to me how much of an introduction it offers to SQL (versus SQLite specifics), but I'm guessing there's some introductory material in there as well.

- silentbicycle 16y agoMichael Owens's _The Definitive Guide to SQLite_ is good, too. It's a couple years old, but provides a good overview of both SQLite (standalone, its C API, and a couple wrappers) and the relational model. SQLite's biggest change since its publication is that it now has optional foreign key (http://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html http://www.sqlite.org/foreignkeys.html) support. If you want a more academic treatment, I would recommend C. J. Date's _An Introduction to Database Systems_. Also, it's been my experience that books which claim to cover relational databases in general, but which actually assume MySQL throughout, are usually pretty bad.
